Kombucha

The chemical analysis of this fungus is not fully known, but it is known to contain large amounts of vitamin C and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), which give it rejuvenating properties and stimulate the body's natural resistance.

It also contains very powerful antiviral and antibiotic substances and substances with hormonal effects. It is recommended for both the elderly and children.

Add 2 teaspoons of black tea to a litre of boiling water. Cover, leave to infuse for 30 minutes, strain and mix with 100 grams of sugar. Leave the tea to cool completely, then pour into a wide-mouthed jar.

Add a gelatinous layer of Kombucha and some yeast from an old culture to the jar and cover the mouth of the jar with gauze. Leave the tea to stand for 8 to 12 days, then filter it.
