Why is Homemade Kombucha Better?

If you’re questioning whether it’s better to make or buy your own Kombucha, you’ve come to the right place. Particular factors to consider when discussing whether to purchase or make your own Kombucha are: Is it easy to make? Is it safe? Which is the most economical option? Is it easier to just purchase some at my local grocery store? And so much more!

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha, a fermented tea, is a nutritionally alive beverage overflowing with health-promoting nutrients. Known as the “elixir of life,” many say drinking this sweet tea supports a healthy gut, cleanses the body, boosts immunity and vital energy, and encourages overall well-being. 

Homemade Kombucha or Store-Bought Kombucha?

Like anything we do ourselves, brewing our own Kombucha at home allows us to guarantee that what we’re making is as pure and natural as possible. Several brands add extra steps to the understated process of making Kombucha. They may be doing it in the spirit of trying to ensure consistency, but those additional steps weaken the Kombucha’s gentle natural activity.

By making your very own Kombucha at home, you can guarantee that your batch is made from fresh, whole ingredients with top nutritional content and that your fermentation has the time it needs to deliver the right potency.
It also allows you to understand firsthand the beauty and the art involved in making these types of fermented foods. Growing a batch of Kombucha is like growing a plant — it’s an opportunity to observe nature at its finest.

Homemade Kombucha is not only easy to make but it’s also an inexpensive option in comparison to its store-bought counterpart. If you’re a frequent Kombucha drinker, then making your own Kombucha in larger batches will not only last you longer but save you more money and time down the line.
