Does anyone here like Kombucha. Please share your favorite flavor combinations. I like pineapple because it gives more fizz.

I don't believe I've ever had it. I've heard of it and maybe I'll try it.

Hello,
I love kombucha! If you add some chia seeds and honey, it gives it an excellent flavor and a unique consistency. I generally use about a tablespoon of chia seeds to a regular mason jar of tea. I highly recommend it. Do you make your own kombucha?

Yes I do but haven't tried so many flavours. Will try yours but I don't have chai seeds will flax do?
When you put the flavorings will you do F2 and how long or what do you do?

Hi everybody, I have tried kombucha and am in the group that doesn't like it at all. Very strange flavor. My auntie makes kombucha daily. You know, I don't really understand it. I think it's some kind of healthy drink.

I have never made it, I just help with the flavoring. My friend starts his own mother and brings it over after each batch is done fermenting. That's the point we start playing with flavors. We only do the second stage with the flavoring for a few days. Then we add the seeds and refrigerate them for 24 hours. I've found that the seeds will just keep absorbing liquid if you let them. So starting them with the flavors just creates a gel. Flax might still be tasty and give that seedy texture, but I'm not sure it would affect the texture the same way. Chia seeds release a gelatinous substance known as mucilage when soaked. If you don't stir them in, they form a dense gelatin layer at the bottom of the tea. It's really interesting. It reminds me of tiny boba balls. There are several plants that release this substance for propagation purposes. I don't know them all, but it would be worth a google and some experimentation.

I and my husband used to make Kombucha. The best flavor we came up with was Green tea with pears and mint.

[Marisol Mendez]

It's delicious! I especially love the ginger blueberry flavor!

[Julia J 1]

Can you explain the flavor? I have never tried it. Also is it as beneficial for a person's health as they say or is that just good marketing?

[Kayla_Sanders]

Definitely an acquired taste, but I love it. Supposedly, it’s very healthy for you.

Kombucha was really controversial when it was introduced to my hometown some folks even claimed it was the devil's drink. Never did get to try it

[Brunette2]

Maybe if you could tell me what is kombucha, am hearing that for the first time.

[Charlienmegan Wehner]

I am not a fan of kombucha but I always hear how good it is for you. Maybe I need to try to experiment with it.

I love kombucha and brew my own at home. My favorite is ginger peach!
