Kombucha....Fermented Tea....A Super Tea
Rich in amino acids, active enzymes, friendly & beneficial bacteria and polyphenols
Kombucha is made by adding a symbiotic culture of bacteria & yeast (SCOBY) to a steeped tea & sugar mixture and left to ferment for around a couple of weeks (depending on the environment)
What you're left with after this process is a drink which is somewhere between sweet & sour, tangy & tart....and most importantly DELICIOUS!
As a source of probiotic healthy bacteria, including Kombucha in your diet can help to improve various aspects of your health including digestion & inflammation.
When buying ready made Kombucha, which you can find easily in many shops nowadays, be sure to check the ingredients before buying as some producers add artificial flavourings and sugar to their drinks to make their taste more appealing to a wider audience.....meaning that you're less likely to be getting the health benefits from the drink.
A personal favourite of ours at GWTF Nutrition are...
