What Is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that has been enjoyed for centuries, known for its unique taste and potential health benefits. It’s made by fermenting sweetened black or green tea using a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The result is a slightly tangy, fizzy drink that offers a refreshing alternative to traditional sodas and juices.
How is Kombucha Made?
The process of making kombucha begins with brewing tea and adding sugar. Once the SCOBY is introduced, the fermentation process begins, typically lasting between 7 to 14 days. During this time, the yeast and bacteria convert the sugars into organic acids, probiotics, and a bit of natural carbonation. This gives kombucha its signature flavor, a balance of sweet and tart with a gentle effervescence.
Why is Kombucha Popular?
Kombucha is rich in probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. Probiotics support digestion by promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the digestive system. Additionally, kombucha contains antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress. While some drink it for these potential health benefits, others simply enjoy kombucha for its refreshing, low-calorie, and versatile nature.
