WHAT’S NEW

Cultured tea

If you want to top up the friendly bacteria in your gut, then try the fermented drink that is kombucha tea, which is made from green tea, cane sugar and a live culture. Equinox Kombucha is available in four flavours – Original, Ginger, Raspberry and Elderflower and Wild Berry. Despite the slight vinegary sweet and sour taste, we’re finding this sparkling drink very addictive and refreshing. £1.80 per 275ml bottle, Waitrose stores nationwide, www.equinoxkombucha.com

Bend over backwards

Fancy a bit of good karma? Then take part in Hot Yoga Edinburgh’s Pay It Forward Yoga programme. Their students can give any amount towards a free class (usually £12) for someone who can’t afford it, and the studio will match the amount of classes paid for by their kind guests. 2 Ladyfield, Edinburgh (0131-452 8470, www.hotyogaedinburgh.com)
