Pomegranate Spice Kombucha

Pomegranate Spice Kombucha

Pomegranate Spice Kombucha is a warm and full-flavored recipe. I like to think of it as a champagne of ciders! Try it out--this is a perfect fall recipe, but it can be enjoyed any time.

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

  5. Seal bottle and move gently to combine ingredients

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

  7. Once kombucha meets your flavor preferences, refrigerate it and enjoy!** I like to garnish mine with a cinnamon stick

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.

Start with 2 days if you want a sweet kombucha, and 3 days if you would prefer it on the tart side.

**You may strain fruit pieces and spices out of kombucha prior to drinking if preferred.  It is fine (and delicious/nutritious) to eat them as well!
