KOMBUCHA TEA

Kombucha Tea is a naturally fermented, slightly effervescent drink made from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). This healthy, probiotic-rich beverage is known for its numerous health benefits, like aiding digestion and boosting the immune system. This recipe uses store-bought or homemade kombucha with an optional slice of fresh ginger for added zing and extra digestive support. Kombucha Tea is a refreshing, tangy drink that’s perfect for sipping throughout the day. Simple and quick to prepare, it’s a great way to enjoy the benefits of fermentation in an easy, ready-to-drink format.

TIPS

  • Store-Bought Vs. Homemade: Store-bought kombucha can be handy, but if you make it at home, you have more control over the sweetness and taste.
  • Ginger Boost: Ginger not only enhances the flavour of kombucha but also adds extra digestive benefits. Use fresh ginger for the best results.
  • Flavour Variations: Kombucha can be flavoured with various fruits, herbs, or spices for a personalised twist. Try adding lemon, mint, or berries for extra depth.
  • Effervescence Control: Kombucha may continue to ferment after bottling, so keep it refrigerated to maintain the right level of carbonation and prevent over-fermentation.

VARIATIONS

  • Fruit Flavouring: Add a few fresh raspberries, blueberries, or slices of citrus fruit to your kombucha for a natural fruit-infused flavour.
  • Herb Addition: Fresh mint or basil can add a refreshing herbal note.
  • Citrus Twist: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavour of the kombucha.
  • Spicy Kombucha: For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a thin slice of jalapeño to kick it.
  • Decaf Option: If sensitive to caffeine, look for or make decaf kombucha using decaffeinated tea.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • In The Fridge: Store kombucha in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process. It can be kept for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: Kombucha is not ideal for freezing as it can lose its carbonation and flavour.
  • On The Go: Kombucha can be poured into a bottle and kept frozen for easy transport. Just make sure to consume it within a few hours if left unrefrigerated.
