Drink This: Kombucha



Kombucha (pronounced kom-boo-chah) is a fermented tea, made with a particular strain of fungus. The tea is allowed to steep as the fungus grows. Once prepared, it is best served over ice.






There are countless purported health benefits, some of which are:






Better digestion



Metabolic support



Skin clarity






Actually, I'll stop right there. If keeping thin and clear skin aren't enough to sell you, you've come to the wrong page, my dear.




Several brands of kombucha are now available at le supermarche and health food stores, but the best brand, hands-down, is GT's Kombucha. Using organic ingredients, the kombucha is available on its own, or as Synergy, mixed with organic fruit juices.




As the Original formula tastes like a port-o-potty after a day at Lilith Fair, I suggest opting for the Synergy, in Gingerade, Mango, Guava, or Gingerberry.




One final, but crucial benefit: it can cure your prosecco hangover in a matter of minutes.




What are you waiting for?




xoxo.
