About the Speaker
Pearly Ma is a librarian at NLB. Her job includes bringing arts programmes to seniors at the libraries. Her first encounter with making kombucha took place when a friend passed her a starter in December 2021. That very first batch got mouldy (yikes) but thankfully she tried again and has since made over 40 batches to date (with very few cases of mould). She enjoys drinking homemade kombucha for its light fizz and refreshing flavour. She has also tried making kefir and ginger beer with varying levels of success.
