What is Kombucha?

​Kombucha is a fermented tea. It is made by introducing a S.C.O.B.Y. (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) into brewed black or green tea, and sugar. The mix is left to ferment for 2-4 weeks, resulting in an effervescent drink that can vary from sweet to vinegary depending on how long it ferments. It is typical to chill, carbonate, and flavor the resulting beverage with any array of fruits, vegetables, herbs, or spices and to serve as a refreshing drink any time of day. Kombucha is also reported to contain probiotics, antioxidants, and beneficial organic acids, making it a healthful and therapeutic alternative to alcohol and traditionally sugary drinks. Due to the natural fermentation process, there is potential for kombucha to contain up to 0.5% alcohol.
