Notes
To make the ginger simple syrup: Combine 1 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Heat until the mixture is boiling, stirring constantly. Add 1 cup peeled, chopped fresh ginger and stir. Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it steep with the lid on for about 1 hour. Strain out the ginger, reserving the liquid.
Store extra ginger syrup in the fridge for about 1 week.
Use black, green, or white tea kombucha instead of oolong tea.
Add 1.5 ounces vodka or gin in step 3 to create a kombucha cocktail. Rinse each glass with 1 ounce of dry vermouth to create a classic martini taste.
