How is Kombucha Tea Made?
Kombucha Tea is a very refreshing beverage made by fermenting sweetened tea and introducing yeast cultures, bacteria, and acetic acid. A colony of yeast and bacteria called SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) is mixed with black or green tea and sugar. It is left to ferment in suitable conditions. Fermenting enhances the life of the tea as it stays fresh even when stored for months. It originated in the third century BC in the north-eastern regions of China. Kombucha Tea is available in various flavors, depending on whether it is made from green or black tea. Its taste is similar to champagne and apple cider.
