Flavored Kombucha

I've been making flavored kombucha recently. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. It's yummy!  

After the kombucha is done brewing, (I've been letting it ferment for about 2 weeks. How long you ferment it is up to you. I've heard of people doing it from 5 days, up to a month) bottle it, (I got some great bottles from  here ) and add whatever you're using to flavor it to the bottle.

I've made ginger kombucha by adding crystalized ginger to it.
I've made cranberry, and pineapple by adding those fruits.
You can also add juice, I haven't tried it yet though.
Adding cranberry makes it taste like really yummy, less tart cranberry juice.
The ginger makes it taste like ginger ale. Yum.

Let the kombucha sit for a day or two or three, to let the flavor develop well.

If you use those air tight bottles, be EXTREMELY careful when opening it. Adding fruit/ginger to the bottle and letting it sit for a few days causes it to ferment again, and it also creates lots of carbonation..and kombucha can be sticky, and difficult to clean off the ceiling. I put a towel on top of the bottle, and open it VERY slowly, letting some of the pressure release, and I have a glass handy to pour it into right away if it's still bubbling a lot.

You can buy a kombucha culture Here. If you know me and want one, I have extras. They reproduce themselves. A lot. So you never need to worry about your culture dying..there's always more.
