Kombucha

We are really enjoying our kombucha. I'd tried it before but never liked it until having some at Janelle's this summer. Now we're hooked. We even took a starter set to Nana and Papa at Christmas. Here's Janelle's post with instructions.

Some of our favorites so far:
Lemon-ginger
Chai- once we made and added chai tea, once we just added chai tea bags in the bottle during secondary ferment
Blueberry-
Mango Pomegranate- we used juice for this and followed suggestions below
Grapefruit- we used combo juice/ fruit


  • If flavoring with fresh, frozen, or dried fruit, start with 10-30% fruit and 70-90% Kombucha.
  • If flavoring with juice, start with 10-20% juice and 80-90% Kombucha.


Here's some recipes we want to try.
Apple- Cinnamon
Pumpkin Spice
"Recipes kids will love"  (mine have loved all of them- but these look fun to try!)

Our only kombucha failure was pumpkin- we tried a recipe with pumpkin pulp and made a hot mess! but still excited to try more.

I do want to try some herb flavorings too!
