I’m very excited to be bringing you an all new video quick tip!
As you know, Kombucha is an incredibly versatile beverage and can be combined successfully with many different flavors. However, I hear from many new brewers who just aren’t sure what to do when it comes to the flavoring stage.
Just the same, many long-term brewers tell me they eventually get stuck in a flavor rut.
We all need inspiration sometimes. Variety is the spice, and all that. Why should your Booch be any different?
If you’re already a flavor guru, I hope a couple of my ideas might spark your fancy or tickle your mind. Leave a comment and inspire your fellow readers (and me! I need new ideas too!) with your favorite creations.
In this video, I demonstrate and explain:
- how to flavor your Kombucha
- ideas to spark your flavor imagination
- a secret for increased carbonation
- safety tips to prevent bottle explosions
- blending other beverages with your Continuous Brewed Kombucha
- mixing kombucha into drinks for hangover prevention
What’s your favorite Kombucha flavor or how do you mix your Kombucha?

I love ginger but pomegranate is a winner too!
I have used liquid concentrates for adding fruity flavors. Blueberry, cranberry, black cherry, elderberry, and pomegranate. The best two were the pomegranate and elderberry! I’ve also used ginger, which is a major winner, too.
great video, that answered a lot of questions for me. i was curious about the fresh fruit. with lemons it sounds like the rind a juice are what to add. i was just going to add wedges. your packs are awesome, the goji ginger is by far the best i’ve had thus far. i made two with POM pomagranate juice. they turned out pretty good. i find the “raw” un flavored is also quite good. i dont always want the extra flavor. very good video, catchy tune as well
thank hannah, u r the best 
I do a pomegranate rose flavor at Leaf Organics – we use a pomegranate molasses & fresh pomegranate seeds.
@Laila what concentrates do you use? are they a juice or more like a syrup? They sound yummy!
@Brian – yay! goji ginger is one of my faves. The original is a good flavor too – kind of like an apple cider
I love lemon and Ginger.
The pomegranate is really good too
thank you, this is most helpful! i tried a few different flavors on my first brew and will be having my first taste today, so i will report back. i want to try some flowers next time!
Great video! As a new brewer I was a bit nervous about the flavoring process now I see it’s pretty simple. I am definitely going to add ginger and some type of citrus to mine during the winter. I imagine my summer brew will be full of berries and other summer fruits. Thanks for the tips.
This FIZZY issue is a big one with me.
Your “Kombucha Bubbles: How to Increase Carbonation…for Beginners”
is Marvelous!!!!!!
But of course I have a question.
I have a stash of Sobe 20oz. glass bottles with the screw on tops.
These tops have a plastic type lining. Will these bottles do?
I want to bottle the brew and try a couple of different things. The white sugar method for sure, as well as, dropping a few fresh frozen blueberries per bottle and the grated frozen ginger.
What fruit, in your experience, is better.
And which fruit is a big NO.
Appreciate All your Advice,
This is a great Website……Thanks
@Hillary – how did your booch turn out? Any new favorite flavors yet?
@Neven – YES! So many delicious flavors in summer with the abundance of fresh fruit – Yum!
@Laura – yes – you can definitely use the Sobe bottles. I’ve mostly experimented with my favorite fruits – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (a bit more tart) mango (can be puree, juice, frozen or fresh), apple (makes the KT gooey from the naturally occurring pectin), craisins, etc.
I’ve heard others have tried watermelon, kiwi, and starfruit. Overall, there doesn’t seem to be a fruit that doesn’t go well with Kombucha.
Anyone else use any more exotic fruits? How did they turn out?
I am using powder from dried strawberries & raspberries, with some lemon juice! I learned that I need to leave the bottles out for 24 to 48 hrs to allow it to get fizzy! Also to fill the bottles up more…..we shall see! Why is it my brew always has a pungent, bitter flavor??
My favorite so far has been cherry lime!
What kind of tea bags do you use? I noticed your KT was very clear when you were putting it in the bottles….mine is pretty dark…hmmm?
I use Hannah’s Special Blend in cotton muslin bags.
