Kombucha is a fermented tea that undergoes two main fermentation stages. The first fermentation involves the conversion of sugar into alcohol by yeast, followed by the second fermentation where acetic acid bacteria convert the remaining alcohol into acetic acid and carbon dioxide.
The amount of sugar required for these fermentations is crucial as it affects the flavor profile and the health benefits of the final product. Too much sugar can lead to an overly sweet kombucha, while too little may result in a weak fermentation.
