If you hold credentials as a jholiday blog expert, you've probably heard of Kombucha.
Kombucha is a miracle tonic, created from fermented tea. To picture how it is made, imagine how an alcoholic beverage is made, usually by adding yeast to something with a sugar content (wine grapes, barley, potatoes, etc.) In the same way you can create kombucha, except in the place of yeast you use a kombucha "mushroom", which is made of mostly probiotic bacteria (think yogurt), added to a mixture of green tea and sugar. This creates a delicious, effervescent nonalcoholic beverage that is chock full of antioxidants, probiotics, enzymes and amino acids, and polyphenols.
Kombucha has had success with cancer patients, it promotes weight loss, body alkalinity, the immune system and is the best hangover cure I have ever found.
This post is in celebration of GT's (my favorite kombucha brand) release of new kombucha flavors! So far I've bought:
Botanic No 3- seen above. This has lavender and elderberry. A new favorite.
Botanic No 7- Has a gingery flavor. I like it, it tastes like a mellower version
of their "Gingerade" flavor.
Botanic No 9- I haven't tried this one yet!
Superfruits- includes all those trendy antioxi-berries like Acai and Gogi berries.
Yum
