This Spiced Apple Pie Kombucha recipe delivers warmth and the incredible flavor of apple pie. Try it for a little slice of heaven to warm you up this winter!
Slice apples into small pieces, adding 1/3 apple to each bottle
Add all spices together, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute spices
Add 1 tsp of spice mixture to each bottle
Fill remainder of each bottle with fermented kombucha, leaving approx. 1 inch of headspace at the top of the bottle.
Seal bottle and move gently to combine ingredients
Allow kombucha to ferment in a dark, warm space for 2-3 days*. Then, begin tasting daily.
Once kombucha meets your flavor preferences, refrigerate it and enjoy!** I like to garnish mine with a cinnamon stick
*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!
