Kombucha

Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black or green tea drink that has been consumed for thousands of years.
Many people believe that kombucha helps treat all sorts of chronic diseases. Not only does it have the same benefits as tea, it's also rich in probiotics, contains antioxidants and can kill harmful bacteria.

It may...

• Strenghten the immune system
• Improve digestion
• Detoxify and hydrate skin
• Reduce blood pressure
• Help fight cancer

If you decide to try making homemade kombucha by cultivating your own SCOBY, make sure it’s properly prepared. Contaminated or over-fermented kombucha can cause serious health problems. Homemade kombucha may also contain up to 3% alcohol.
