Kombucha is not your average beverage. It’s often referred to as “mushroom tea” or “booch” for short, but it doesn’t actually contain mushrooms. Instead, it’s made from a few simple ingredients: tea, sugar, water, and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast).
SCOBY – This strange-looking pancake-like culture is the heart and soul of kombucha brewing. It’s a symbiotic mix of bacteria and yeast that ferments the tea and sugar, transforming them into the tangy, fizzy, and slightly alcoholic beverage we know and love.
At Bali Buda, our scobys are like our babies! We have kept them alive for almost 28 years. They are well-taken care of by our Kombucha Master who has been with us for very long time! He is the “scoby-wisperer”!
This Spiced Apple Rooibos Kombucha offers numerous health benefits! In fact, we have written a full blog about it, here. To summarize here:
- Great source of Probiotics: Detoxification: Kombucha contains antioxidants that help your body detoxify, flushing out harmful toxins.
- Improved Digestion: The enzymes and organic acids in kombucha can aid digestion, reducing bloating and discomfort.
- Joint Health: Some studies suggest that the glucosamine in kombucha may help maintain healthy joints.
- Mental Clarity: The B vitamins in kombucha can support mental clarity and reduce stress.
- Weight Management: Kombucha’s acetic acid may help control appetite and assist with weight management.
- Skin Health: Radiant skin is often attributed to a healthy gut, and kombucha may contribute to a clearer complexion.
Our base for all our kombucha is made of: our scoby, tea or fruits (depending on the variant of kombucha we want to make), cane sugar (to create the fermentation) and water! Nothing else.
In this Spiced Apple Rooibos Kombucha, you bet it: we use Rooibos tea, dried apple, clove, star anise & cinnamon stick!
