Kombucha

Kombucha is one of my all time favorite things. I have sung its praises to most people I know, spurring them to try the delicious beverage for themselves, but none have attached themselves to it with the religious ferocity with which I view it.

Kombucha is made by brewing tea, adding sugar then fermenting the sugar-tea with a culture of bacteria and fungus(yeah, I know, but bear with me). This results in a tangy, carbonated beverage. It has been around since BC times, supposedly originating in China.

Kombucha is touted with health benefits including fighting cancer(!), abolishing cellulite(!!), restoring hair color, curing diabetes, preventing illness, and curing hangover(let me personally attest to this!). In my experience, it also gives this wonderful sense of well being that I can best compare to the way you feel after a few sips of wine on an empty stomach.

Kombucha is also endorsed by many celebrities, hehee

I drink the GT Dave kombucha, which is available here in San Luis Obispo at the co-op and New Frontiers. It is also available at Whole Foods.
