Kombucha Mama
A Fabulous source for probiotics (the good bacteria in your digestive tract), a tasty effervescent (bubbly) raw drink, and even a nice alternative to wine or beer, Kombucha has been around for ages. Really, like it was a traditional drink in China and Russia.
Kombucha is a drink made from a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast), Tea (black or green), Sugar (that the SCOBY eats up), and water.
You can find Kombucha in the stores (Synergy brand is common) for upwards of $3.50 for a 16 ounce bottle. Or you can make your own for cheap!
Here are my tips for making your own … it’s super fun (unless you are easily grossed out by slimy mushrooms)
First you’ll need a Kombucha Mother also known as a SCOBY (see above), mushroom, or I like to call mine “Scobylicious Mama”. You can buy scobies online, but it’s way easier and more fun to grow your own.
