Anyone here pop drinkers in a past life? I'd be frontin' if I said I didn't miss that feeling when I was like, mad thirsty and quenched myself with cold, fizzy sweet liquid euphoria. Water is cool and all but... it fails to offer an experience quite like carbonated corn syrup does. What does one do?
This is where Kombuchie steps to the plate. For those that haven't heard about it, it's green tea 'n sugar fermented by a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast). It's touted as a health elixir/detoxifier which I won't spew much about, but it allegedly contains probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants, organic acids, and polyphenols. And yea dawg it's fizzy like pop mission accomplished.
I have 2 cultures going... hey speak of the devil there they are now.

Once you get over them looking like wrinkly asspancakes you're in for rewards. For noobers wantin' to give it a try I recommend GT's Kombucha, the Citrus one has a Squirt (http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object3/1570/48/n59554449798_5441.jpg) ring to it. If you end up brewing your own you can go uber custom with the flavorings. You should start slow on it, my first few bottles made my skin itch to amazing proportions... I guess this is where the detox part comes into play.

Here's a bottle of satsuma orange juice fortified Kombucha I have in the fridge right now, I hear talk of it getting fizzier if you let it sit a week or so after harvesting it from your SCOBY container, so I'm givin' it a go.
Drop some Kombucha Love!
