But wait a minute,

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha (com-BOO-cha) is a sugar-sweetened tea fermented by a community of organisms (SCOBY) into a delicious sour and sweet tonic. More simply, it is fermented sweet tea.

Kombucha is readily available at most grocery stores (if you have trouble finding it, try health food stores). For most Kombucha Sangria recipes, I usually use a simple, plain kombucha base, but feel free to experiment with flavored kombuchas too.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: Make large batches of each recipe without the ice the day before a party or BBQ. When it’s time to serve, just add ice to a pitcher and let your guests serve themselves. The sangrias only get more flavorful the longer the ingredients are mixed.
