Recently, when going through a forum and many different blogs related to health, I stumbled upon this tea. It is called 'Kombucha' and is literally a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. When making it, it is left to ferment for about a week or two and feeds off sugar and caffeine. It is typically a very sweet tea, but the longer it ferments, the more it it begins to smell and taste vinegar-y. The more vinegar-y it is, the stronger and healthier it is. It must be made with a SCOBY, lots and lots of really strong green or black tea, sugar, and previously made Kombucha tea. Because SCOBY's can be quite expensive, I'm going to make my own and begin brewing tea from it as soon as it's made. Each time tea is brewed, the mother SCOBY makes a baby SCOBY and yadda yadda, more tea for everyone.
I plan on brewing this very soon! It's a long process, but because of my past digestive health issues and how many antibiotics I had taken, I want to nurse the good bacteria back to health in my body. Probiotic tablets are quite expensive to purchase, so I figured this would be a cheaper alternative.
