Any fellow kombucha fans out there?!

Hi there! Below you’ll find affiliate links to great products that we enjoy using in our own kitchen.

Kombucha is made by fermented black tea with sugar and a SCOBY— Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast. I know, it sounds gross, alien, and certainly looks unappetizing. But making kombucha isn’t just a fad, people have been brewing up kombucha for hundreds, if not thousands of years!

The SCOBY ferments the black tea and sugar into a slightly fizzy, tangy beverage. You can flavor kombucha or you can skip all the fermenting work and buy pre-made kombucha from the store. 

Kombucha is a tasty beverage that also boasts some great probiotic benefits!Since it’s fermented, it contains beneficial probiotic bacteria that may help improve gut and digestive health.

I generally drink kombucha on its own or with a little sparkling water, but I wanted to kick it up a notch so this Friday-style kombucha was born. Kombucha, simple syrup, rum and mint and you’ve got yourself a refreshing Mint Kombucha Mojito. 

Well here's to your daily dose of probiotics, the Friday version. Mint Kombucha Mojito anyone? 

 1- Prepare the simple syrup. Combine 1 part sugar and 1 part water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and let simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool completely. This simple syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month. 

2 - Combine rum, simple syrup, mint and lime in a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Gently muddle the mint to release its flavors. Add ice, cover and shake to combine. 

3 - Top with kombucha, a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!

Mint Kombucha Mojito: Tips, Tricks and Tools

To mix this drink, we use a mason jar, but you can use a regular cocktail shaker instead. And don't forget your reusable metal straws! Just a few of our favorite helpful kitchen tools!

Purchase high quality ingredients: Consider getting a quality alcohol. If you buy from the bottom of the barrel, your drink may taste accordingly... No need to go for top shelf either, but find a nice middle ground. Go for something local to your area! Support the little guys when you can, both microscopic and human-sized. Ahh yes, probiotic puns.

Buying Kombucha. You can find kombucha in the refrigerated beverage section. Different brands of kombucha will taste different so try a few out to find ones you enjoy. Some will taste more vinegary - this is generally because they’re fermented longer.

Watch out for store-bought kombucha with lots of added sugar. Kombucha will contain sugar because it’s needed to ferment, but we don’t want too much added after fermentation. Look for kombucha in a glass container, ideally a darker bottle, with a short ingredients list, not filled with juice, unpasteurized, and just natural ingredients.
