KOMBUCHA

How to drink kombucha

The drink has to be cold, at an ideal temperature of 3 °C. It’s a ‘living’ drink, meaning it has to be conserved in a fridge to slow down the fermentation process and avoid it turning in an alcoholic drink. Kombucha is an alternative non-alcoholic drink because of its very low alcohol percentage, under 0.5%. Although it is very low, it’s advisable for pregnant and breastfeeding women to avoid drinking kombucha until this is no longer an issue. Similarly it’s better for children under 9 years old to abstain from drinking kombucha.

Shake the kombucha bottle gently before drinking. This is not necessary for ginger beer nor hibiscus tea. Once you open the bottle consume in little time. It’s advisable to not have two bottles open at the same time. Finish one and then open the other. Daily kombucha intake can be a small bottle or a 250 mL cup, preferably after a meal. You can drink up to 1 liter of kombucha per day without problems.

The brown yeasts in the bottles are something natural and organic of the drink. It helps in the process of producing probiotics. If you wish, you can filter it. These are some recommendations from GMD on enjoying your drinks.
