Drinks

This fizzy drink is a sweetened, fermented tea beverage that has roots in ancient times. Black tea is brewed, sweetened (with sugar), inoculated with a combination of bacteria and fungus (called SCOBY), and then fermented for 7-14 days. The process is very similar to how vinegar is created from wine. In fact both contain high amounts of acetic acid, the most recognizable astringent flavor in vinegar. The result is a bubbly, lightly sweet and astringent drink that is enjoyed by some and thought to be a super drink by many.

Most of us tend to be pretty good about adding fruits to our diet— they’re sweet and tasty in their natural state. Adults should be getting 2-3 cups of vegetables each week, with an emphasis on those powerhouse superfoods, dark leafy greens: chock full of vitamins (K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins) and minerals (iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium). Are you getting enough?
