Most new & even some long-term Kombucha brewers aren’t sure how to flavor the drink, so they get stuck in a flavor rut. Don’t let “recipe rut” happen to you! Get ready to learn the art of flavoring kombucha tea from the comfort of your own home.
You can combine one or multiple flavors in the bottle, and then mix in the Kombucha. Next, you’ll want to let the Kombucha carbonate – this is called the second fermentation. This happens on your counter at room temperature, and depending on your brewing environment, this process may take 1-3 days. The warmer the temperature of your room, the faster it will carbonate. Make sure to put your bottles in a box or other safe storage in case of a bottle explosion! To prevent this, burp your bottles once per day.
Make Your Own Kombucha Flavor Recipe
The Kombucha Mamma Hannah Crum loves ginger for its “kick” and ability to boost carbonation, so ginger ale is a natural flavor choice..Lemons and berries are also great additions to Kombucha. E. Add Elderberries and goji berries for a health boost and delicious flavor. Frozen berries are a great option for cooler months when fresh berries are scarce. Try these seasonal Kombucha flavors:
- Spring – Elderberries, lemon, and rose petals
- Summer – Wine spritzer
- Fall – Ginger, lavender
- Winter – Frozen berries
I’ll let you in on a little secret – for a special occasion (or just a hot summer day), try adding champagne or wine for a fun spritzer!
