Sparkling Cranberry Peach Kombucha
What it is
This is a fermented tea beverage made with cranberries and peaches. It undergoes a natural fermentation process, which gives it a slightly tart and effervescent quality. The fermentation also introduces beneficial bacteria, often referred to as probiotics. It offers a unique flavor profile that balances the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of peaches.

This kombucha is best served chilled straight from the bottle or poured into a glass. For a more diluted and bubbly experience, you can mix it with plain or flavored sparkling water.
