Kombucha TeaKombucha tea is a fermented, pleasant tasting drink made from sweet black tea and a live culture, sometimes referred to as a mushroom, which is a co-dependant blend of healthy bacteria, yeasts and other micro-organisms. The tea is purported to help boost the immune system, detoxify the body and enhance overall energy. It is rich in amino acids and enzymes that promote efficient cell production, repair body tissue, and combat foreign bacteria and viruses. In addition, Kombucha tea contains other essential acids that helps the body’s digestive system, inhibits the growth of bacteria assists the body’s cleansing process and fights yeast infections. It is important to note that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved the beverage as a treatment for any medical condition. It is typically home brewed using the live culture, which can be purchased online from a Kombucha supplier. A simple web search will lead to sites that sell live cultures that typically cost around $15US and up. Once the tea is prepared, it is left in a dry, ventilated place to ferment from 5 days to two weeks, depending on taste. Then, it is stored in airtight containers for consumption. Similar to making homemade yogurt with live cultures, a portion of the brew is kept to be used to make future batches of tea. For brewing instruction and advice on how to make the tea, click here.
