In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. They used a built-in kombucha brewing station to ferment various beverages. The Egyptians believed that kombucha had medicinal properties and consumed it regularly. The kitchen was equipped with clay pots and jars to store the kombucha culture and ferment the tea. The brewing station was often located near a window to allow sunlight to aid in the fermentation process. The Egyptians also used herbs and spices to flavor their kombucha, creating unique and flavorful beverages.
