Bonus: Flavoring Your Kombucha Tea

Flavoring your kombucha tea can be fun and creative. The possibilities are endless. However, it is important to note, that any flavoring should be initiated AFTER the kombucha tea has fermented and is removed away from the kombucha culture.

In other words:

+ FIRST - Let you tea properly ferment with the kombucha culture in it for 7 to 10 days.

+ THEN - Set the kombucha culture aside and transfer your now newly fermented kombucha tea into another container, pitcher or bottle individually.

+ FINALLY - Add your favorite juice, dried fruit, and/or tea to the fermented tea. Making sure that these additional ingredients, never come in contact with the kombucha culture.

Stay Tuned We will soon be featuring a "Best Of", recipe section and even host a contest within for the best submitted creations!



Till then here are my personal favorites:

- CUT A SMALL PIECE OF WHOLE GINGER ROOT AND DROP INTO EACH BOTTLE

- DROP A FEW RAISINS (ACTUALLY CRAISINS ARE EVEN BETTER!) AND DROP INTO EACH BOTTLE

- SQUEEZE SOME FRESH LEMON JUICE (ABOUT A TEASPOON) INTO EACH BOTTLE. JUST THE JUICE AND NOT THE ACTUAL LEMON PEEL.

- COMBINE ALL OF THE THREE ABOVE!!!
