Most Popular Chinese Drinks
3. Kombucha
An ancient Chinese beverage, kombucha is mainly consumed as a detoxifying and energy drink. Its preparation includes brewing a combination of sweetened black or green tea and SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). It is then fermented twice: first for a few weeks immediately after the brewing process, and the second after storing it in a bottle. Before the second fermentation, many prefer adding fruits, spices, or herbs to the brew to make it flavorful. Served chilled, kombucha is a satisfying fizzy drink with a slightly sweet and sour taste.
