Kombucha is a refreshing, lightly fermented, probiotic tea that tastes a bit like slightly sparkling apple cider.
Kombucha is an ancient home-made folk remedy that has been popular, especially in Asia and Russia, for generations. It’s also known as Manchurian Mushroom and Tea Kvass. More recently it’s become very popular as a health and energy drink in the USA, where it’s bottled and sold in health food stores for premium prices. If only people knew how easy and inexpensive it really was to make! The hardest part of the whole process in finding the mother culture, and now you have.
If you can make a cup of tea, and follow a few simple instructions, you can make your own endless supply of delicious, healthy kombucha for pennies a batch.
Apart from the Kombucha mother culture (called a SCOBY, pronounced SKO-BEE) and kombucha starter tea, you probably already have all the ingredients you need to start making your first batch - water, tea (black or green tea), and sugar. The friendly yeast and bacteria cultures in the SCOBY metabolize the sugar, so the fermented kombucha doesn’t have a very high sugar content.
What you get:
Kombucha starter - SCOBY (the ‘mother culture’) and a small amount of already fermented kombucha tea as a starter.
Kombucha instructions and recipes in PDF format, which you can read on your computer or print.
Shipping within NZ is $4, starter kits are sent out on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday depending on your location to avoid sitting in the post office over the weekend.
My SCOBYs have been raised in organic tea and sugar, and pure filtered rain water (not municipal tap water). They are very healthy and active cultures, and I’ve had very good feedback from everyone who has obtained SCOBYs from me.
