 Epperly began brewing and fermenting recipes for kombucha and pickles before deciding to brew fermented cabbage, with a significant salt content.The result, a concoction of water, salt, and fermented cabbage or kale which Epperly claims can treat a number of illnesses and conditions, was dubbed "Jilly Juice".Epperly began making Jilly Juice with cabbage and kale in October 2016, and by January 2017, she was posting videos related to the drink on her personal Facebook page.
