Kombucha

Kombucha? Anyone heard of this thing? Well I was at Everman the other day and I picked up what I thought was a cranberry flavored tea because I was thirsty and wanted something to drink at the office...

Well I shook it up and went to open it as it exploded all over the place. Then I took a smell of it and it smelled like alcohol. I wasn't sure what I had grabbed. So I looked it up online and found out it was fermented. I thought maybe it was made of mushrooms or something. Well here it is:


Kombucha is an effervescent tea-based beverage that is often consumed for its anecdotal health benefits or medicinal purposes. Kombucha is available commercially and can be made at home by fermenting tea using a visible, solid mass of yeast and bacteria which forms the kombucha culture


It's definitely not made of mushrooms, it's not alcoholic and it's been around for many years. It's used in many countries and people drink it to prevent illness. i took a super tiny sip and didn't enjoy it. 


I would love to hear your thoughts on Kombucha...do you love it? Do you hate it? Have you heard of it before?
