Description
Chamomile lemon kombucha is a fantastic drink to sip at any time of the day. The calming properties of the chamomile are ever-present in this kombucha, while the sweet and citrusy taste of the lemons provides a nice, zesty kick.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 teaspoons dried chamomile flowers
- 6 ounces of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 15 1⁄4 cups green tea kombucha
Instructions
- Evenly divide the chamomile leaves among eight 16-ounce glass bottles.
- Divide the lemon juice as well, adding about a tablespoon per bottle.
- Fill each bottle with green tea kombucha. Maintain an inch of headspace.
- Cap the bottles and allow them to ferment at room temperature (around 72°F) for 48 hours for optimal carbonation.
- Strain out the flowers, small yeast strands, and kombucha culture, if desired.
- Put the kombucha in the fridge for 6 hours until chilled and ready to serve.
Notes
Green tea is the best tea base for this recipe because it allows the chamomile flavor to shine through. However, white or oolong tea would be good substitutes. Black tea is an option but may overpower the delicate flavors.
You can add other ingredients like dried hibiscus and ginger for additional flavor.
