With its sweet, tart flavor and spicy edge, this ginger kombucha recipe<\/strong> is always a favorite. It's easy to make, and a great way to give a little life to your own homemade kombucha. It's easy to do, and similar in flavor to classic ginger beer - only with a decidedly tart finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kombucha tea is a fermented drink<\/a> made by culturing sweetened black tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. This symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast is also known as a SCOBY or mother culture. The beneficial bacteria and yeast in the SCOBY convert the sugar in sweet tea into various b vitamins and acids, which produces the sweet-sour, vitamin-rich drink we know as kombucha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger kombucha is one of the most popular flavors, and you make it by flavoring kombucha tea with ginger root and a source of sweetener, such as honey, fruit juice, or sugar. The result is a fizzy probiotic beverage that has a gingery zip coupled with a pleasantly sweet, sour flavor reminiscent of apple cider vinegar and black tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for Ginger Kombucha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
