Getting Down With Kombucha As it turns out, what I had to lose was a boatload of money. When I first walked into the grocery store and saw that a bottle of kombucha sold for $3.50 a pop, I basically turned into Kristin Wiig in Bridesmaids ("Help me, I'm poor!!"). Then I told myself that if I was paying $200+ for my monthly skin care routine, I could dig up the cash for this "magical cure" ... if it was actually going to work.
I purchased a bottle of Kevita and took my first sip. The taste? Let's just call it interesting. A friend told me that it tasted just like ginger ale. I have no idea what kind of ginger ale she's been drinking because it beared no resemblance to me.
Instead, it's like drinking alcohol without the benefits (you know, getting drunk). The fermented beverage has a fruity, boozy flavor, kind of like an old-school wine cooler, but with a decidedly vinegar-y punch.
Nonetheless, I promised myself that I would drink one full bottle every day for two weeks. Here's what it got me.
