Quick FAQ (based on common searches)
-
How do you prepare kombucha at home? (kombucha preparacion)
Basic home preparation steps:
- Make a sweet tea (black or green) and let it cool to room temperature.
- Add a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) and starter kombucha to the cooled tea.
- Cover with a breathable cloth and ferment at room temperature for 7–14 days, tasting periodically.
- When it reaches the desired balance of sweetness and acidity, bottle it. For natural carbonation, do a secondary fermentation with a small amount of added sugar or fruit pieces for 1–3 days in sealed bottles.
- Refrigerate to slow fermentation and enjoy cold.
Safety tips: always use clean equipment, avoid metal contact for long-term fermentation, and discard any brew with mold (fuzzy, colored spots). Homebrewed kombucha alcohol level can vary—see below.

Does kombucha contain alcohol? (kombucha alcohol)
Commercial kombuchas are typically fermented to keep alcohol under legal limits (often <0.5% ABV) so they can be sold as non-alcoholic beverages. However, alcohol is a natural byproduct of fermentation:
- Store-bought, pasteurized or carefully controlled kombucha: usually trace amounts (<0.5% ABV).
- Unpasteurized or homebrewed kombucha: alcohol can be higher depending on fermentation time, temperature, and residual sugar.
If you need to avoid alcohol entirely (pregnancy, sobriety programs), choose products explicitly labeled alcohol-free or look for lab-tested ABV values on the bottle.

Where can I buy kombucha? (kombucha comprar)
Popular places to buy kombucha:
- Supermarkets—check the refrigerated beverages or health-food aisle.
- Large grocery chains that stock natural or specialty drinks.
- Health food stores and organic markets.
- Online retailers and brand websites that ship ready-chilled bottles.

Is kombucha sold at Mercadona or Carrefour? (kombucha mercadona / kombucha carrefour)
Availability at large supermarket chains like Mercadona or Carrefour depends on region and store size. Practical tips:

- Use as a mixer in light cocktails or mocktails where you want aromatic lift and gentle effervescence.
Storage & Shelf Life
Keep kombucha refrigerated to slow fermentation and carbonation changes. Once opened, consume within a few days for best flavor and fizz. Unopened, check the producer’s best-before date—refrigeration helps preserve the intended profile.
