Brew Your Own Kombucha
Traced back to Chinese origins to around 220 B.C., numerous health promoting and detoxifying effects have been attributed to the fermented tea kombucha, also referred to as the "elixir of life." While kombucha often costs $3+ a bottle, it is very inexpensive and easy to brew your own!
