Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, commonly referred to as a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The fermentation process results in a tangy, slightly effervescent drink that is often consumed for its potential health benefits.
Flavor Profile
The taste can range from sweet to vinegary, depending on the fermentation time.
It often has a slight fizz due to natural carbonation.
Health Aspects
Kombucha is rich in probiotics and antioxidants. Some people believe it aids digestion, boosts the immune system, and provides other health benefits. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.
