This sounds interesting: 8 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Kombucha Tea

Rat studies consistently find that drinking kombucha regularly reduces liver toxicity caused by toxic chemicals, in some cases by at least 70% (16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source).

In any case I have a batch going atm, more so because it's tasty but if it has real health benefits thats awesome.

Yeah I got some store bought with live bacteria in it. It's really simple, you just brew up some strong black tea, add sugar, add some of the store bought kombucha after letting the tea cool to room temp. And put it all in a big jar, cover it with some cloth or a paper towel or something and let it sit for a week or two.

This is the guide I followed: The Simple Guide to Kickass Kombucha
