Kombucha

Taking the world by storm, this popular and healthy alternative to sugary, carbonated drinks, kombucha has been linked to a whole host of great health benefits.

From supporting gut health and aiding digestion to boosting essential vitamins and minerals, it's no wonder kombucha is the drink of choice for many people.

What is kombucha?

Kombucha is a naturally fizzy, fermented tea drink with a slightly sour - but always delicious - flavour. Kombucha benefits from being packed full of healthy bacteria as a fermented drink, which means the benefits of kombucha are vast!

It is traditionally made using green or black tea leaves and a base known as a kombucha SCOBY. The kombucha SCOBY is a gelatinous material that floats on the surface of the kombucha as it ferments and gives the kombucha its trademark bubbles and slight sourness. Its shape and consistency have led to some nicknaming it a "kombucha mushroom", the "kombucha mother", or even likening it to seaweed.

The fermentation process of making kombucha is surprisingly simple and can result in delicious non-alcoholic kombucha, or 'hard' kombucha, which has a more significant alcoholic content.

Available in various flavours, from mango and raspberry to ginger and lemon, there is bound to be a flavour for everyone. You can even add flavours to your own kombucha. For example, try our raspberry lemonade, lemon ginger or goji kombucha recipes.
