But anyways, getting back to our yummy flavor, we aren’t going to talk about how to make kombucha today.

Instead we are focusing on how to flavor our Kombucha once it’s made!

Flavoring Kombucha

What you will need

Ok, first let’s go over our ingredients and supplies.

If you are using the Continuous Brew System this will be really easy!

With it’s easy fill spout, filling bottles is a dream!

1. Bottles

I usually use bottles that I have saved from store bought Kombucha, or you can purchase these glass bottles that are the same size.

Also, I want to start experimenting with these swing top glass bottles to see if they will make a more fizzy second ferment.

I will keep you posted with the results!

2. Apple Juice

I use organic pure Apple juice with no added sugar.

If you’d like you can even juice your own apples instead of buying juice!

3.Organic Cinnamon Sticks

You want to use cinnamon sticks and not cinnamon powder.

I have experimented with both and the flavor of the Kombucha made with the sticks is much better!

Also, the cinnamon powder floats to the top and creates an unpleasant gritty texture that you don’t want in your Kombucha!

How To Flavor Kombucha

Ok, now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, let’s get started!

1. First add 2-3 ounces of apple juice to your bottles.

This is a matter of preference so feel free to experiment with the amount to find the flavor that you enjoy most!

2. Next add 1/2 a cinnamon stick to your bottles.

3. The last ingredient that you need to add is your prepared Kombucha!

Fill it all the way to the top.

4. And finally, you are going to screw on the lids and put your bottles in a dark cabinet.

You want to allow your Kombucha to complete it’s second ferment.

This will take anywhere from one to three days.

You need to leave it for at least a full 24 hours to give the Kombucha time to eat a portion of the natural sugars in the flavorings.

The longer you leave it the more fizzy it will be.

But do not leave it longer than the three days. Leaving it longer than the three days will increase the alcohol content of your Kombucha, making it unsafe for children.

And that’s how you make Apple Cinnamon Kombucha!

Do you like this flavor combination?

FAQs

Can you make kombucha with store bought kombucha? ›

Kombucha: You can use homemade kombucha from a friend or store-bought kombucha, but make sure it's a raw, unflavored variety. It also helps if you can see one of those little blobby things floating at the top or bottom of the bottle. Black tea: Plain black tea is the best and most nutritious tea for scoby growth.

How do you make kombucha? ›

Instructions: Dissolve sugar in water, steep tea, let it cool, remove tea bags, add vinegar or starter tea, and SCOBY, cover, and culture for 7-30 days at room temperature (68-85°F) out of direct sunlight. Retain tea and SCOBY for the next batch. Repeat.

Can you make kombucha with yeast? ›

While it might not be the most attractive part of home brewing (and can even make your brew look a bit cloudy), yeast plays a critical role in the fermentation process and helps carbonate your kombucha by releasing carbon dioxide. We personally love to pop a bottle of booch with lots of carbonation.

How do you add herbs to kombucha? ›

Flavour your kombucha by directly adding fruits, juices, herbs, and spices into bottles or infusing them in another jar before bottling. If using juice, start with a 10%-20% juice-to-kombucha ratio. For herbs and fruits, experiment for desired taste. After a few days of infusing, strain and bottle.

What can you not mix kombucha with? ›

Disulfiram (Antabuse) interacts with KOMBUCHA

Taking kombucha along with disulfiram can cause a pounding headache, vomiting, flushing, and other unpleasant reactions. Don't drink any alcohol if you are taking disulfiram.

Is homemade kombucha stronger than store bought? ›

While we think it's safe to assume that kombucha brewed at home with organic ingredients, love and care will create a more powerful tonic than a commercially produced brew, we have a deep appreciation for some commercially brewed kombucha when we are traveling or on the go.

What is the best sugar for kombucha? ›

Cane sugar is the most common type of sugar that is used for brewing Kombucha. Most people use “plain white sugar” – you want to make sure the package says “cane sugar” on it or you are most likely using GMO Beet Sugar.

How often should you drink kombucha? ›

It is important to start with drinking small quantities to see how your body reacts to the beverage. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that four ounces of kombucha can be safely consumed one to three times a day. Overconsumption can lead to headache, nausea, gastrointestinal distress, or ketoacidosis.

Do you drink the SCOBY in kombucha? ›

The answer is YES! The little jellies, as we like to call them, are condensed forms of the probiotic cultures found in kombucha. Some people drink the “baby” SCOBYs to get an extra portion of good probiotics. If you are not a fan of the consistency, however, feel free to filter it out!

Why add vinegar to kombucha? ›

Adding apple cider vinegar (ACV) to your kombucha brew or subsequent batches after tasting it once before bottling can have several potential benefits, including: Flavor: ACV can add a tangy, sour flavor to your kombucha, which can enhance the taste and balance the sweetness of the brew.

When should I throw away SCOBY? ›

If a SCOBY turns black or has black patches, that means it's died. You should toss that too.

Can I use an apple cider vinegar SCOBY to make kombucha? ›

Yes, you absolutely can. But it's a lot of work. You need to rework the vinegar culture. The vinegar culture will ferment “kombucha”, but it won't taste very good for some generations until the bacteria change.

Can I add baking soda to kombucha? ›

Adding a 1/4 teaspoon of calcium carbonate, potassium or magnesium or even baking soda to a glass of kombucha. Any of these beneficial minerals will neutralize a small amount of the acids in the kombucha tea. The result is carbonation.

What fruit to add to kombucha? ›

Kombucha that's already been brewed and ready to drink. Fruit juice of your liking: cherry, grape, blueberry, pomegranate, lemon, pineapple, etc. You can add pieces of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) in addition to, or instead of, fruit juice.

Can I add spices to kombucha? ›

Brewing your own kombucha also gives you the chance to get creative. You can replicate your favorite store bought kombucha or experiment with seasonal fruit, spices and other exciting ingredients.

Can you ferment store bought kombucha? ›

To brew with store-bought kombucha, simply purchase a neutral-flavored unpasteurized kombucha. Then use it to brew a batch of kombucha using the usual method. It will probably take a bit longer to ferment and grow the pellicle than indicated in the recipe. Expect it to take between 4 to 7 days.

Does store bought kombucha continue to ferment? ›

If unrefrigerated, raw kombucha will continue to ferment in the bottle or can. This can create more carbonation, and in extreme cases, the bottle or can may burst. Continued fermentation will also affect the overall taste and quality.

Can you use bottled kombucha as starter? ›

For your starter bottle of store-bought Kombucha, choose an unflavored bottle of raw, unpasteurized brew. And if at all possible, find one with strands of culture floating in the bottle.

Why can't you use flavored kombucha to make a SCOBY? ›

Added flavors can disrupt the growth and health of the good bacteria and yeast. This compromises the strength and balance of the delicate brew ecosystem.
