Brew & Bubbles: DIY Kombucha Workshop for Mental Wellness

Enhance your knowledge of Kombucha-making and explore your creativity with ingredient combinations! Research indicates that probiotic fermented foods, such as coffee fermented with red tea fungus, are rich in probiotics that can stimulate serotonin production. To further boost brain health, incorporate Grassleaf Sweetflag Rhizome, which is known for its cognitive and anxiety-reducing properties, into the fermentation process. You will have the chance to mix and taste this unique blend of Kombucha that you create!
