Looks gorgeous doesn't it?
So what is Kombucha and why would my cupboards be full of these jars?
The History of Kombucha is largely unrecorded but first recorded evidence began in Russia in the late 19th century, called "čajnyj grib" or Tea Mushroom.
In Japanes the Kombucha is known as "kōcha kinoko" Red Tea Mushroom.
It has a slight fizz and tastes like cider. I would recommend drinking a small amount about 150ml each morning half an hour before food. I hear some people drink it all day long but if you're just starting out it may take the body a little while to adjust. I get so excited when I wake up and have my Kombucha it's like starting my day with a glass of champagne! ha ha ;)
Kombucha is an amazing body detoxer/alkaliser and has many health benefit claims of which I will make a list below. Personally for myself and my own experience I have found it reduces cravings for alcohol, sugar and junk food. It boosts my metabolism and makes my digestive system super effective. Happy digestion = happy moods :)
I found this on the web. some of which is amazing and some that are a bit of a laugh - but I believe it all because Kombucha rocks!
