This trendy drink made from fermented tea with natural carbonation boosts the immune system and promotes gut health. Kombucha is easy to make: brew tea, let it cool, add the kombucha mushroom (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), and allow it to ferment. The necessary foundational knowledge for the primary fermentation is provided in the informative introduction.

In its raw form, kombucha has a tangy, effervescent note. In a second fermentation process, successful kombucha brewer Louise Avery flavors "raw kombucha" with various additional ingredients, demonstrating how versatile this drink can be adapted and refined. Her kombucha specialties come in fruity creations or vegetable-based options. Combinations with flowers, herbs, or spices complete the diverse recipe selection.
