CHINA WHITE PEACH BELLINI WITH FRESH MINT
THIS decadent yet simple mocktail combines the delicate juicy sweetness of peach purée with prosecco-like GO Kombucha China White’s fragrant and tangy light fruit notes to make the perfect non-alcoholic Bellini.
With perfectly balanced sweet and sharp flavours and plenty of indulgent fizz, this is the ultimate kombucha mocktail. Peaches are high in antioxidants, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and B vitamins. Their antioxidant effect (antioxidants are beneficial plant compounds that combat oxidative damage and help protect your body against ageing and disease) has been shown in one study be effective in just half an hour (source: healthline).
They may also aid digestion due to a combination of soluble and insoluble fibre, which can improve our gut health. Combine this with raw kombucha’s natural good bacteria and you have a delicious drink you will not feel at all guilty treating yourself to.
