"Ancient brew: bubbles into the West: Kombucha tea, a tisane that is more than 2,000 years old, is trickling into the U.S. and the 21st century. The drink has been adapted from the Middle East and Asia, although it has been consumed throughout other parts of the world."

The "mushroom tea," as Kombucha is commonly referred, has been having remarkable success for its health properties, tangy taste and self-reproduction. Though this new famed brew is hitting the shelves of health food stores and coffee shops, it originated in the kitchens of thousands who started fermenting the product themselves.

October Challenge: Home Brew Kombucha

October usually means more time indoors. It is a darker time in our house and a time of more consistent temperatures as we turn the heat back on. Often October signifies the return of comfort foods and a return to the kitchen after a long summer spent cooking outside and making meals with minimal prep.

As you shuffle back into a darker kitchen and spend a little more time actually using your kitchen this fall, I have an easy challenge for you, brew some kombucha. This is an incredibly simple and incredibly healthy drink to make. You can refer to my "ode to kombucha" and preparation instructions or read my additional thoughts on brewing kvasses, but I will also provide some simple instructions here.
