kombucha is a fermented drink made from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, often referred to as a SCOBY. The fermentation process typically takes about one to two weeks, during which the yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, while bacteria produce acetic acid, giving the drink its tangy flavor. This beverage is known for its potential health benefits, including probiotics that may support gut health. Kombucha can be found in various flavors, as fruits, herbs, and spices are often added during the second fermentation to enhance its taste.
