Description
Make your own refreshing and healthy ginger kombucha at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 gallon brewed kombucha
- 1-2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Brew your kombucha as usual and complete the first fermentation.
- Prepare your ginger by peeling it and slicing it thinly. The amount of ginger can be adjusted to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
- Add the sliced ginger to a clean, sealable bottle or jar.
- Pour the finished kombucha from the first fermentation into the bottle with the ginger, leaving some headspace at the top.
- Seal the bottle tightly.
- Allow the kombucha to ferment at room temperature for an additional 1-3 days. This is the second fermentation (F2). Check for carbonation by gently tilting the bottle.
- Once desired carbonation is reached, strain out the ginger slices.
- Chill the ginger kombucha in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality fresh ginger for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of ginger to your taste.
- The length of the second fermentation depends on the temperature and your desired level of carbonation.
- Be cautious when opening carbonated bottles.
