Kombucha is an exotic and surprising treat for your taste buds. This bubbly, non-alcoholic fermented tea has a unique flavour you’re unlikely to have experienced before. In the same way that when we ferment grape must, we call it wine or when we ferment apple juice, we call it cider, when we ferment a sweetened tea infusion, the result is called kombucha.
\nThe magic behind kombucha lies in its simple recipe. It requires only four ingredients: tea, sugar, water, and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). This fascinating colony of bacteria and yeast transforms sugar into delicious organic acids and natural probiotics, giving kombucha its distinctive flavour and beneficial health properties.
\nAlthough kombucha is having a moment as the trendy drink du jour, it boasts a rich Asian history dating back over two millennia. Samurai warriors were known to consume it for an energy boost before going into battle. But kombucha offers so much more! It’s a treasure trove of vitamins B (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12), C, D, E, and K. It also contains digestive and metabolic enzymes, organic acids like lactic and acetic acid, along with a wealth of antioxidants and minerals like iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium, and magnesium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
