Kombucha: The Health Benefits of a Fermented Tea
Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is made by adding a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) to a mixture of black or green tea, sugar, and sometimes fruit or other flavorings. The SCOBY ferments the tea, producing carbon dioxide and acids, which give kombucha its characteristic fizziness and tart flavor.
