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 out of kombucha prior to drinking if preferred. It is fine (and delicious/nutritious) to eat them as well!
