Kombucha tea dates back over three thousand years. It is made by adding
Sugar (any type) to boiling filtered water and making green or black tea. When it cools you add your culture which eats the
Sugar (in 7 to 14 days) and produces a drink rich in vitamins. B vitamins are essential vitamins ( our bodies don't produce them)

I know,WOW sound great (but what does this stuff taste like) Black tastes like the best ice tea you ever drank.Green tastes like a sweet white wine. The longer you leave it ferment the less sweet it is.
