Notes
You can choose any raw kombucha flavor. Green, oolong, white, and black tea work marvelously. You can also experiment with flavored kombuchas once you’re comfortable with the brewing process.
Unsure what fruits to add during the second fermentation? Some tried-and-true fruits you can add include raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, passionfruit, grapes, cherries, and apples.
If you don’t have fresh fruit, you can do a 2nd fermentation with juice. Try cranberry, mango, or orange juice. Just about any fruit flavor works well with this recipe.
Elevate the flavor and add health benefits by adding an inch of fresh ginger to the recipe.
Some brewers pour the tea through a strainer to remove fruit debris before drinking.
