Nourishing Drink: Kombucha

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're brewing a tangy, fizzy fermented drink that takes just 10 minutes of active work but needs about 10–14 days of patience as the kombucha ferments at room temperature. The trickiest part is nailing the temperature—both when cooling the tea and during fermentation—and then finding your perfect day by tasting regularly, since everyone prefers different levels of sweetness and fizz.

About this recipe

A nourishing fermented drink we discovered while traveling in Guatemala. Fermented simply means naturally cultured. From the very first sip we were hooked — that sweet-sour, gently fizzy taste that's hard to compare to anything else. Drinking it gave us a real energy boost and a genuinely good feeling in the body. It just suited us perfectly. Get ready a 4-litre jar, a piece of cloth, and a rubber band.
