Have you thought about making your own kombucha? While it may seem like a daunting task to create your own fermented sweet tea, it is actually an easy process that can become a beautiful ritual much like doing your morning stretches or a weekly meditation session.
After making my own kombucha for over 10 years, I can’t imagine my life without this on-demand healthy drink. I love sharing it with my friends and family and have taught many people how to make it themselves.
If you already love kombucha, or are looking for a new delicious, healthy and refreshing drink, you might be be surprised at how easy and rewarding it is to make your own.
Here are 5 compelling reasons to making your own kombucha at home.
Reason #1: Anytime access to health promoting benefits
Kombucha is bursting with gut friendly probiotics and beneficial enzymes. It contains certain acids that can support a healthy digestive tract and antioxidants that can help with the repair of cells. To learn more about kombucha’s benefits, read my article here. The best part? Not only do you have anytime access to healthy, fizzy and delicious kombucha, you can also make enough to share as much as you like with your friends!
Reason #2: Create custom flavors you love and which support your health goals
No more disappointment when your favorite flavor or brand of kombucha is out of stock. You can easily create the most delicious flavors for your kombucha that can also support your specific health goals. For example, adding ginger to your kombucha can support digestion and immunity. Adding fennel or lavender can create a soothing drink that can help with healthy digestion and stress management. Using seasonal or frozen fruit is a great way to boost kombucha’s complex flavor. You just need a very small amount to create big taste! Adding berries also can increase kombucha’s antioxidant value.
Reason #3: A cost-effective alternative to store-bought kombucha
Depending on where you live, a small bottle of kombucha (500 ml or 16 oz) may cost you upwards of $5! For that amount you can make more than a gallon (4L) of kombucha at home. Your basic ingredients are tea and a sweetener (such as sugar or honey). The starter culture or scoby is a small one-time purchase. After that, your kombucha will just keep making more starter culture on its own, giving you an indefinite supply. You can literally make your own kombucha for just pennies a glass.
Reason #4: You know exactly what goes into your kombucha (and what doesn’t)
When you make your own kombucha, you can choose what kind of tea and sweetener will make up your brew. Organic and fair trade? Yes! Sencha, dragonwell, English breakfast or ceylon tea? Sure, whichever is your favorite! Unbleached, organic sugar, raw honey, sucanat or even pure maple syrup? You get to decide! When you’re making kombucha for your own health rather than to make a profit, you can be guaranteed that your kombucha will give you the best possible benefits.
Reason #5: Make amazing recipes with your kombucha
Have you tried kombucha vinegar for cleaning your house naturally? How about antioxidant face cream made from the scoby starter culture? You see, when you make your own kombucha, you don’t just make the drink. You now also have access to a whole world of recipe options…from beauty care to cleaning solutions to tasty recipes.
Kombucha making is as easy as brewing tea. As long as you have your scoby, or starter culture, and a few basic kitchen items, you can make as much kombucha with as may flavor options as you like to drink (or share).
