Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented beverage made from tea that is refreshing (especially as the weather heats up) but also great for you. The drink is essentially fermented tea: it's made from sweetened tea, usually black, that is fermented by a bacteria and yeast culture and ends up full of probiotics as a result. Tea has been enjoying a surge of popularity for a few years now, due in part to its health benefits.
