Mad Millie Kombucha Kit Ingredients

With the Mad Mille kombucha kit you can have an endless supply of the fizzy, fermented tea drink that’s taken the world by storm. It comes with the essential kit you need to make at least 1 litre of kombucha – including the live culture, or ‘SCOBY’, that is central to the kombucha making process.

Kombucha is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY, or ‘symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast’. After the first ferment the kombucha is still, not fizzy, with earthy, tangy and slightly vinegary notes. To get the fizz, a second ferment is performed – and this is also the stage where you can flavour the kombucha with fruit juice, herbs, spices or even edible flowers.
