Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 bottle

Ingredients

  • 1/4 whole lemon leave the rind ON
  • 1-2 tsp peeled ginger root we use closer to 2 tsp--use as little as 1 tsp if you are not a huge fan of ginger
  • 1 tsp organic cane sugar
  • 12-14 ounces Fermented Kombucha Enough to top off the bottle, leaving approx. 1 inch of headspace

Instructions

  1. Slice 1/4 of a lemon (with rind on) in small pieces and place in bottle

  2. Peel or slice the "skin" off of the ginger root. Discard

  3. Slice flesh of ginger root in small pieces and place in bottle

  4. Add sugar to the bottle (use a funnel if desired)

  5. Fill remainder of bottle with fermented kombucha, leaving approx. 1 inch of headspace at the top of the bottle.

  6. Seal bottle and shake gently to combine ingredients

  7. Allow kombucha to ferment in a dark, warm space for 2-3 days*.  Then, begin tasting daily.

  8. Once kombucha meets your flavor preferences, refrigerate it and enjoy!**

Recipe Notes

*You may want to "burp" bottles (AKA lift lid slightly to release excess carbonation) on a daily basis.  If there isn't much pressure to be released after 24 hours, try every other day.

**Again, you may strain lemon and ginger pieces out of kombucha prior to drinking if preferred.  It is fine to eat them or leave them in and avoid them as well!
