Kombucha, the Funny Named Tea With Healthy Benefits
The fermented tea is all the rage among health enthusiasts.
Kombucha is sold next to sport drinks in the grocery store and I’ve heard its mixture has medicinal qualities, is a probiotic, and contains sugar, alcohol, and SCOBY.
When my kids are on antibiotic, the pediatrician suggests to put them on probiotic tablets to eliminate adverse effects on their tummies. I wonder if it is an acceptable replacement, but I don’t know how much sugar and alcohol are in it. I don’t believe kombucha is going to cure the body of anything, but health advocates suggest it eliminates toxins, naturally bringing the body back to a healthy state where it can repair itself. “It is time”. to find out what goes into making it and why it is beneficial.
At home we sometimes call it kom “brew” cha. I’m usually brewing something in the kitchen. Sometimes it is a science experiment, but there’s a lot of science behind this brew. What is it about that funny named tea that has so many people talking? It retails for between $3-$4 per 16 ounce bottle. I drink it occasionally and it causes me to wonder what about it is so healthy, and if can I make it at home cheaper.
