The Counting On alum said, “Thanks to my sis, @jessaseewald I’m joining the kombucha making bandwagon! lol 🍵.” Then, she asked fans to share their “tips and tricks.” Well, needing no second invitation, plenty of TLC fans reacted and shared with her.

Jill Dillard fans sent in lots of ideas. And one noted, “Add juice or crystal light to it and the kids…drink it.” Others suggested adding some “ginger and lemon.” Then, one fan advised Jill, “Do the second fermentation with real juice, sooooo much better than plain!” An interesting idea came in.

What is kombucha – how to make it?

It’s not surprising that some people never made or tried Kombucha tea. Web MD describes it as “a fizzy sweet-and-sour drink made with tea.” While many people claim extreme health benefits such a “cancer cure,” they’re not all proven. But, healthy aspects include the fact it works as a “probiotic.” And, “kombucha also contains a healthy dose of B vitamins.”

Jill Dillard probably likes the idea of a healthy dose of B vitamins. Also, people think it helps with energy. 2,000 years old now, the recipe originated in China, spread to Russia and Europe, and finally arrived in the USA. Yeast, sugar and tea ferment, and the skin top that forms after about a week can be used to make more Kombucha. Interestingly, it’s mildly alcoholic.
