How to Flavour and Create a Fizzier Kombucha Brew with a Second Fermentation
Ingredients
Flip top jar or bottle about 750ml to 1L capacity (Ikea currently stock them for $1.99)
Fruit and/or fresh juice (preferably organic, 100% no added nasties or freshly squeezed is best), herbs, spices, fresh fruit of your choice
1tsp organic sugar dissolved in a little water (optional - it is best to bottle your kombucha when it is still slightly sweet, if you miss this window, just add a tsp of dissolved sugar)
Enough fermented Kombucha tea to fill your bottle/s
Instructions
Strain Kombucha tea into an airtight glass bottle, and simply add desired flavourings
For juice, use about 10 juice 90% Kombucha tea
For fruit, add about 20% fruit to your preference
For all other flavourings, it’s best to use a minimal amount and experiment with your preferred flavourings
You can check out my individual recipes under the Kombucha section on the recipe page for variations like Ginger & Turmeric, Passionfruit, Lemongrass and more
The flavour will intensify further while fermenting
Allow to ferment for another 2 – 5 days
You can store it in the fridge once the fermentation has completed, but it's fine to drink at room temperature if preferred
Ensure you open the lid every 3 days or so to ‘burp’ the jar to avoid them exploding. I highly recommend doing this if you live somewhere warm
