Kombucha is a fermented tea popular in Russia and China that’s gaining widespread appeal in the US.

And you can actually make it at home, for pennies on the dollar.

All you need is to brew around a gallon of black tea, add a cup of sugar, seal it in a jar with some “scoby” (the kombucha starter tea, available at your local health food store) and in a few days you’ll have delicious, homemade kombucha that’s far cheaper than the $4 bottles at the store.

No two kombuchas taste alike.  You can even add fruits and herbs to add flavors, giving your kombucha a special flavor.

It’s that simple!
