What Is Kombucha?

Kombucha is sweetened tea combined with a beneficial concoction of yeast and bacteria often called SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The bacteria and yeast partner up to give kombucha it’s one-of-a-kind tang by fermenting the tea. To get more technical, the yeast consumes all sugar from the tea and produces alcohol - which the bacteria eats to produce beneficial acids like acetic and gluconic acid.

Some people are crazy about booch. Others take one look at the weird, jiggling SCOBY and run for the hills. Either way, this fizzy drink is extremely simple to make.
