Kombucha
Kombucha is an ancient and truly delicious tangy-sweet beverage that has many health benefits and
has been passed down from generation to generation. It is the result of a fermentation process
combining a Kombucha Mushroom, or 'Scoby' (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) tea, sugar
and water. Authentic kombucha scoby's are self-propagating making it a wonderful sustainable,
enjoyable and economical beverage to do at home. To learn more about Kombucha, navigate the

The Kombucha drink (minus the mushroom / scoby) is now available
commercially at some health food stores. It's not as good as making
the real thing at home because the companies need to halt the yeast
fermentation (which creates the fizz) in order to bottle it commercially
and prevent explosion. You are left with a drink that has high acid or
suppressed culture.
Kombucha is one of the most simple at-home ferments. The
mushroom (scoby), which looks somewhat like a pancake, simply
converts a sugar-tea (Green, Black tea) solution over a period of
1-2 weeks into a health-promoting beverage that contains many
organic acids, active enzymes, amino acids and polyphenols as
well as many B-vitamins. When bottled it will also become fizzy and
carbonated.
