The Kombucha? You mean Pol Pot’s bunch?
Kombucha tastes like apple cider, if it is made correctly, and like vinegar, if it is brewed too long. My mother in law brewed it faithfully a couple of times per month and drank some each day. She just passed away at 96 1/2 yrs old.
I now brew my own each month. All you need is to get a Kombucha culture. (called a scoby) and then float it in tea with sugar for approx 7-12 days in a warm dark place in a covered glass container. Lots cheaper than buying it.
I cultured my first "mother" from a bottle of K I bought at a store.
I followed directions from the internet but If doing it again, I would not use nearly so much tea. It took too long that way.
