- hollerith 2y agoHuh. I think it tastes great (but is bad for me -- too much sugar).
- cassianoleal 2y agoI have yet to find any kombucha with sugar. So far all the ones I've bought have 0 sugar. Sure, sugar is used as a substrate for the cultures but after brewed there's none left, and the resulting drink is slightly sweet and very low calorie.
- hollerith 2y agoI always thought that if you let it ferment till there is no sugar left, then there is a chance it might accumulate more than 0.5% alcohol, so the kombucha sold in the US avoids doing that to avoid compliance costs (and maybe taxes), so I'm guessing you don't live in the US, where all the kombucha I've ever bought tastes quite sweet.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI'm in the UK. I'm drinking a can of Los Bros Ginger & Lemon kombucha. According to the nutritional information on the label, in its 250ml it has <0.5g of sugar and only 6 kcal. It doesn't specify anything about alcohol content but it doesn't taste like alcohol and even if I have a few cans (I usually don't :D) I don't get a buzz. According to this website [0] even though there will be some amount of alcohol produced in the fermentation process, it should be so low that even drinking "a lot of kombucha" won't get you drunk. I imagine a sweeter, higher-sugar kombucha will make you crave more than its very low sugar counterparts though - and I doubt Hanlon's razor applies.
