Kombucha Culture
Kombucha culture is a necessary ingredient in brewing your own Kombucha Tea. Kombucha has been around for more than 2000 years and is said to be the Elixer of Youth!
Just like you need a starter to make sourdough, you need a starter to make Kombucha! Without it, no tea my friend.
In order to make a fine brew of Kombucha, you must obtain a reliable source for purchasing your culture. There are reputable online sources you can buy from and prices range from $10 - $50 depending on how much Kombucha starter you are buying.
What is Kombucha Culture?
Kombucha culture is a spore or spawn of living bacteria, like a mushroom or the bacteria cultures in yogurt and cheese. The culture contains Vitamins C and B's and several living bacterias (including probiotics), enzymes and minerals.
Instead of making a yogurt or cheese, kombucha culture is used for a much shorter period of time and the ‘tea’ poured off.
At first I had a really hard time with Kombucha, it reminded me of the stale cup of coffee with mold floating on it you find in your office every now and then! But, I got over it when I was able to relate it to cheese and yogurt.
The tea tastes similar to apple cider with a little more vinegar.
The culture is a living organism that contains nutrients that can really help your body and immune system.
