Kombucha

It's gut for your gut!

Kombucha is an ever-growing tea trend because it promises several health benefits, plus it naturally contains a trace amount of alcohol and caffeine. But what is it, exactly? Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that’s made by adding yeast and a culture of bacteria to a mixture of black or green tea, sugar, and sometimes additional flavorings or fruit juice. After you blend the tea with sugar, it becomes kombucha with the help of something called S.C.O.B.Y., which stands for symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. This live bacteria sets the stage for a fermentation process, which is what gives kombucha its slight effervescence and tart-and-tangy taste. Source
