Kombucha

Kombucha is a tangy, fizzy, and fermented tea that has become a global health phenomenon. It's packed with probiotics and offers a unique alternative to sugary sodas.

🔬 How It's Made

Kombucha is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), often called a "mother" or "mushroom." The SCOBY consumes the sugar and produces a range of organic acids, vitamins, and probiotics, resulting in the final tangy and effervescent drink. The process can be done at home but requires careful handling.

🌍 Cultural Story

The exact origins of kombucha are uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in Northeast China (Manchuria) around 220 B.C. and was prized for its healing properties. It traveled along the Silk Road and eventually made its way to Europe before its modern-day global revival.
