Long Live Kombucha
I just can’t get enough kombucha. When I was teaching at Corepower (years ago now) there was a Whole Foods literally in the same parking lot as Corepower Yoga Edina. That Whole Foods introduced me to kombucha.
What is kombucha?
Kombucha is a beverage produced by fermenting tea with a culture of bacteria and yeast. It’s made from sugar, tea, and SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast). The final product is fizzy and slightly sweet. What the what? Yes, there are strains of live active cultures floating around in kombucha, but it is SO GOOD FOR YOU. So that Arny Palmer I tasted- it makes so much sense! Fermented Tea + Lemonade…it’s basically a Kombucha Arny Palmer! One of the main reasons that I drink kombucha is for the probiotic. I’ve met with nutritionists (both RD’s and holistic nutritionists) and they always recommend a probiotic. By drinking one of these a week, there really is no need for the probiotic. There are lots of different kombucha brands and flavors out there. I usually drink the brand Synergy because that’s what’s readily available in the Twin Cities. If I am going for an already flavored variety- my favorite in the ginger. A single bottle of kombucha sells for about $3.99. The way I look at is is- a cappuccino or even a cup of coffee from Starbucks. There are 2 servings in each bottle, so they usually last me 2-3 days. In today’s recipe, I used a bottle of plain kombucha. This flavor is tangy and fizzy…so I thought I would add some citrus and a little more sweetener for the perfect summer drink. I also added some blueberries for some color 😀 Cuz- why not?!
