| Kombucha Mushroom |
It represents the symbiosis of fungus and bacteria. It is a tea mushroom, which means that a drink is used, that is, tea that is created by fermentation of sugar. The mushroom itself has a pithous mass and takes on a shape that depends on the container in which it is kept when making the drink. Over time, it grows, mostly covering the entire surface of the vessel and expanding in thickness. As the kombucha grows, it is possible to make larger quantities of the drink or tea. The main component of the tea is gluconic acid, which is produced by bacteria that are in symbiosis with the kombucha mushroom. Gluconic acid itself is a product of the liver and is the main cleanser of the body. By consuming the drink, we simply help the liver in its function and thereby facilitate and speed up the cleansing of the body. Kombucha tea has been used for centuries in Russia and Asia and is thought to promote longevity. This tea contains concentrated high-quality proteins that the body can immediately use. The first one supports the creation of several important polysaccharides: hyaluronic acid, necessary for connective tissue, chondroitin-sulphate acid, which is the basis of our cartilage, mucoitin-sulphate acid, essential for our mucus and the vitreous body of the eye, as well as heparin, while lactic acid is extremely useful for the colon. Kombucha also produces several vitamins and enzymes that are beneficial to the human body. It also acts as a natural antibiotic.

How to make kombucha drink - tea?
To make a drink or tea from kombucha mushrooms, you need the following:
- Kombucha Mushroom
- Black and green tea (or any other such as mint, chamomile...)
- Šecer
- A glass container, preferably a two-liter jar or larger
- Gaza
Brew tea from 100 g of sugar in 2 liters of water and add black and green tea to taste (about two filter bags each or in proportion to that in the refuse).
When the tea has cooled, pour it into a glass container and place the kombucha so that it floats on the surface of the tea. It is necessary to cover the container with a cloth and close the opening of the jar with cheesecloth. It is very important that the container is in a dark place that is at room temperature. The very process of creating the kombucha drink has a number of side effects, such as a specific smell during fermentation. The time period for making the drink is about 7 days. After that, you need to strain the drink and repeat the process of cooking black and green tea with sugar, with the fact that you take 2 dl of the already prepared drink and pour it into a new drink, and wash the mushroom itself under cold water and return it to the glass container. Since the fungus creates gluconic acid, and it gives acidity to the tea, it is necessary that the drink be mildly acidic, so that the optimal acidity is achieved after 7 days, although the procedure can be shortened or extended, but not less than 5 days.
