What’s in a name? Whether it’s called tee kwass, medusa tea or champignon miracle, kombucha is still the same probiotic-rich beverage it has been for hundreds of years. Praised for its bountiful benefits, kombucha tea can provide various strains of good bacteria, including Acetobacter, Saccharomyces and Lactobacillus.
Due to the nature of kombucha and the various ways in which it can be cultured, it’s virtually impossible to know the exact microbial composition. This can vary based on the type of water used, the brewing time, the culturing temperature and so forth. However, what is always true to kombucha is gluconic acid, acetic acid and fructose.
The bacteria and yeast strains in kombucha are what make it fizz and make it taste a tad tangy. These unique features are what makes it perfect as a refreshing beverage, as well as a substitute for vinegar in salad dressing and condiments. Its acidity is useful in meat marinades and even cocktail recipes. Perhaps most surprising is kombucha’s role in hair care. If your kombucha becomes too acidic to drink, simply mix it 1:1 with water and use as a conditioner just be sure to rinse thoroughly!
Side note: All kombucha begins with SCOBY, a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast. The SCOBY looks like a leathery pancake or similar to the smooth, thick body of a mushroom. In this SCOBY, bacteria and yeast strains live together in a complex, mutually supportive community hence “symbiotic.” The SCOBY is included in this starter kit, making your DIY experience that much easier.
