Kombucha Floats

Kombucha is made from fresh-brewed tea fermented with a culture to create a probiotic-rich, slightly fizzy beverage that the ancient Chinese called the “immortal health elixir.” It has been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like preventing and fighting cancer, arthritis, and other degenerative diseases.

Gelato is an age-old delicacy; the earliest frozen desserts were recorded in 3,000 B.C., when Asian societies discovered they could consume crushed ice and flavorings. Although gelato is rich and decadent, it is lower in fat and calories than traditional ice cream, and made with ingredients that are all found in nature.

When combined, kombucha and gelato make an amazing, fizzy and creamy “grown-up” float high in protein, rich in calcium, with enzymes that detoxify the body, glucosamine for joint care, and probiotics that aid digestion and immune support.
