You’d never guess a fermented, vinegar like drink could be this good

If you were given a jar of Kombucha and didn’t know what it was, you would dump it down the drain. Kombucha is made by fermenting tea using a colony of bacteria and yeast called a SCOBY. Sounds gross right?

Surprisingly no.

Kombucha’s an acquired taste, but most people come to love it. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, has a little carbonation, and a very slight vinegar taste. Don’t be put off by the vinegar part. It’s just a hint, and gives it a nice bite.  Did I mention it was healthy?  Kombucha is regarded as an almost magical elixir by natural health fans around the world.

The immune boosting qualities as well as mood enhancing benefits of this wonder drink are enough to make anyone jump on the Kombucha bandwagon. I mean, who doesn’t like a 2000 year old elixir that has been linked to preventing cancer and other degenerative diseases?

According to the Food Renegade, a popular website and blog on the healing properties of food, the health benefits of Kombucha include: detoxification, joint care, digestion aid and gut health, and numerous immune boosting antioxidants.

Most health food stores sell Kombucha for around $3 a bottle, but if you enjoy it, you might want to make your own.
