Whether it’s a probiotic boost or something

light and refreshing you’re after, these five

fermented tonics have it covered.

Kombucha

FIVE OF A KIND

1

LO BROS PEACH &

GINGER KOMBUCHA

Few flavours capture the

essence of summer like

peaches at peak ripeness,

and those in favour of a

sweeter style will relish this

fizzy, fruit-forward tonic.

Serve over ice for a sunny,

satisfying pick-me-up,

or start the party and tip

some into a Rum Punch.

$4.49 for 330ml. lobros.co

KOMBUCHA ME

ELDERFLOWER

KOMBUCHA

There’s rawness and

freshness aplenty here,

with a vinegary kick and

the scent of elderflower

buds and petals, which are

added atthe final stage of

fermentation. If the festive

season took its toll, put

down the pét-nat and raise

a glass of this instead.

$4.90 for 330ml.

ROK BERRY

BEATS KOMBUCHA

If the hazy, sunset-pink colour

isn’t enticing enough, then the

delicate taste of this Margaret

River kombucha certainly is.

Cold-pressed strawberries,

elderberries and hibiscus join

forces with white and green tea,

leaving a pure, berry-scented

impression that’s subtle rather

than synthetic.$4.99 for 365ml.

HERBS OF LIFE GINGER &

TURMERIC KOMBUCHA

Australian ginger and turmeric root lend

warmth to this brew made from organic

ingredients in the Blue Mountains. The spice

level is subtle, allowing notes of white

pepper and orange peel to enter the fold.

$4.25 for 330ml. herbsoflife.com.au

MAILER MCGUIRE

JASMINE GREEN

TEA KOMBUCHA

Relaxation can come in

a bottle, it seems. The scent

of jasmine flowers in bloom

is nothing if not inviting,

and the tannic grip of green

tea keeps you wanting

more. Kick back, top

up and make it a lazy

afternoon.$19 for 1 litre.
