Magic Elixir

Kombucha. Kam-boo-chah?
This “magic health elixir” is a popular drink right now, but what exactly is it? According to my sources (me), it’s got a tangy, bubbly taste, and each sip definitely packs a punch. It turns out that the drink is full of healthy things like B vitamins and antioxidants. Sold! But can this be true? If you’re skeptical based on the recent overflow of trendy beverages like almond milk, matcha lattes and pressed juices, you may be right. But then again, Kombucha could be a solid contender to add to the list. Even if you’re not in it for the health benefits, why not keep this refreshing drink in hand to beat the summer heat?

Yes!! I got hooked on kombucha and am now brewing my own. Looks like I’m growing some 90s X Files creature in my spare closet, but I swear it’s easy and amazing :)
I need to try this! x

That is a fantastic beverage with quite an original taste! I got introduced to it by a friend who brewes her own. She adds spices and all sorts of natural flavours – you can create your own receipe. It trully is full of elements modern food does not offer anymore.
Ps : the jar the mushroom steeps in looks funky as a decoration element!
Love it!

I LOVE Kombucha and used to make it at home. Probiotic, sparkling and low in sugar…always a smart choice. I am skeptical about how ‘alive’ all the commercial Kombucha really is. As with anything labeled probiotic, those good bacteria begin to die off as soon as they are packaged up. Why aren’t all of the store bought varieties exploding on the shelves with fermentation? I’m thinking it’s because they are pretty dead. The drink is still tasty, but I like to make sure mine is a fresh, healthy culture too!
