So, what is kombucha? This fizzy drink has numerous health benefits, besides serving as a refreshing beverage after (or during) a long day! Kombucha is made using a special fermentation process involving black or green tea, yeast, sugar, and healthy strains of bacteria. Carbonization is produced because of the acetic acid, gases, and low levels of alcohol that result due to the fermentation. Kombucha is a good source of probiotics, which can aid in digestion and reduce inflammation. The good bacteria and acids in kombucha also help fight off the types of bacteria that make us sick. These benefits from the fermentation are also compounded with the benefits you would already be getting from the green tea base! Green tea is packed with antioxidants, and can also aid in regulating cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Overall, kombucha is a gut-healing, heart-healthy, immunity-boosting beverage that will make your taste buds tingle! Stop by the Old Dutch to grab your bottle – we’re happy to give you our recommendations!
