Kombucha! What a fun word! It sounds like you’re sneezing when you say it! 🙂 Kombucha is a health drink made by fermenting sweet tea with a kombucha culture. It tastes kind of like sparkling cider.
I first learned of this fermented health drink when my sister came for a visit this spring. We were shopping at Whole Foods and looking for a healthy drink, and came across this. I loved the taste of it (you can get different flavors), and I loved the health benefits of it (lots of good probiotics for your stomach), but didn’t like the price so much – over $3/bottle.
So I decided to try my hand at making it homemade. For Mother’s Day my family got me all the supplies that I would need (bottles, large glass bowl, organic tea, ect…..). Then I waited until my friend’s kombucha SCOBY divided, and she could share one with me. It takes about 7 days for the drink to brew, then you bottle it and wait for the 2nd fermentation (where the carbonation occurs).
Here’s a pic of my little bottles of Kombucha. Can’t wait to taste them! Stay tuned for how it turns out….. 😉
