Gut- punch

This gut-punch of a drink is the perfect way to start your day or cool down after a workout. The kombucha and sparkling water provide a refreshing base, while the orange and lemon juices add a bright, citrusy flavor. The ginger gives it a bit of a kick, and the honey adds a touch of sweetness. It's a delicious and healthy way to stay hydrated.

I first had this drink at a health food store a few years ago. I was immediately hooked on its refreshing flavor and invigorating effects. I started making it at home, and I've been experimenting with different ingredients ever since. This is my current favorite recipe.
