Growing up in Ukraine, I loved kombucha as a kid. It was culturally common for a household to brew their own.

Kombucha is made by fermenting sugared tea using symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast also known as SCOBY. It is known for having the same health benefits as tea as well as being rich in probiotics and antioxidants.

While I appreciate the benefits, it’s mostly the taste that I enjoy! It took me a while to have the courage to try brewing it at home but to my surprise, the process was rather easy. Handling the SCOBY at first is a bit unusual - as you can see in the video - but overall, love the process.

I used Tonica Kombucha DIY Kit from Organic Garage.

With Love…
