How To Make Flippin’ Fizzy Kombucha at Home – The Ultimate Gut-Healthy DIY Drink Craving a refreshing, gut-friendly drink that’s easy to make and fizzy like soda? Kombucha is your answer—and making it at home can be flippin' fun! Kombucha is a fermented tea packed with probiotics, antioxidants, and enzymes that support digestive health and immunity. The best part? You don’t need fancy tools or a science lab—just a few simple ingredients and a little patience. What Is Kombucha? Kombucha is a fermented tea made using a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). It’s slightly sweet, tangy, and can be made fizzy during a second fermentation. The fizz is what makes kombucha so satisfying—like a healthy alternative to soda! Ingredients You Need: 8 cups of filtered water 1 cup of organic cane sugar 6 bags of black or green tea 1 SCOBY 1–2 cups starter kombucha (from a previous batch or store-bought) Optional: ginger, berries, lemon, or herbs for flavoring Step-by-Step Guide: 1. Brew Your Tea Base Boil water and add sugar until dissolved. Steep tea bags for about 15 minutes. Let the tea cool completely before moving to the next step. 2. First Fermentation Pour the cooled tea into a large glass jar. Add the SCOBY and starter kombucha. Cover with a breathable cloth and secure with a rubber band. Let it ferment for 7–10 days in a warm, dark place. 3. Second Fermentation (For Fizz!) After the first fermentation, remove the SCOBY and pour the kombucha into airtight bottles. Add fruits, herbs, or juice for flavor and carbonation. Seal the bottles tightly and let them sit at room temperature for 2–4 days. 4. Chill and Enjoy
