What is "kombucha"?

Kombucha is a type of fermented drink that is made from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). The SCOBY, also known as the "mother," consumes the sugar in the tea and produces a fizzy, slightly sour beverage that is often described as tangy and refreshing. Kombucha can be made with a variety of teas, including black, green, and herbal teas, and can be flavored with fruits, spices, or other ingredients during a second fermentation process. The fermentation process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the desired level of carbonation and tanginess. Kombucha is often touted for its health benefits, as it is a source of probiotics, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. It has gained popularity in recent years as a trendy and health-conscious alternative to soda or other sugary drinks.
