Kombucha Ginger Shots
Kombucha Ginger Shots are a refreshing and energizing way to start your day or perk up in the afternoon. They're made with just a few simple ingredients: kombucha, fresh ginger, lemon juice, and a touch of honey or maple syrup. The kombucha provides probiotics and a bit of sweetness, while the ginger adds a spicy kick. The lemon juice brightens up the flavors, and the honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the tartness of the kombucha and ginger. These shots are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy them chilled, or add them to your favorite smoothie or juice for an extra boost of flavor and nutrition.
Kombucha has been around for centuries, and it is believed to have originated in China. The first written records of kombucha date back to the Qin dynasty (221-206 BC). Kombucha is made by fermenting black or green tea with a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The SCOBY converts the sugar in the tea into acids, enzymes, and probiotics. Ginger is a popular ingredient in kombucha because it adds a spicy kick and helps to improve digestion. Lemon juice is added to brighten up the flavors and add a bit of tartness. Honey or maple syrup can be added to sweeten the shots, but this is optional.
