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

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 I use store-bought kombucha to make more kombucha? ›

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.

While a glass of kombucha is A-OK, drinking multiple servings every single day may not be the best choice," Manaker says, noting that it might invade the space of good ol' H2O, can contain some caffeine from the tea, and could do a number on your teeth due to its acidity. (The typical pH of kombucha is around 3.)

What happens if you leave kombucha to ferment too long? ›

If you leave kombucha on the counter with the scoby too long, you get something that taste like vinegar and can be used to replace vinegar in recipes. But the addition of the juice in this case fed the active yeast and bacteria in the kombucha.

What not to do when making kombucha? ›

  1. Using vinegar in place of starter tea.

  4. Putting your SCOBY or brew vessels in the fridge.
  5. Using flavored tea for first fermentation.

Can you drink homemade kombucha everyday? ›

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.

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 vinegar to my kombucha? ›

Adding apple cider vinegar (ACV) to kombucha will not stop the fermentation process, but it may affect the flavor and carbonation levels. Kombucha is made by fermenting tea with a culture of bacteria and yeast (known as a SCOBY), which consumes sugar and produces acids, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of alcohol.

Can I use store bought kombucha as a starter? ›

You grow a new scoby from scratch by combining cool strong tea, sugar, and some pre-made kombucha. You can use homemade kombucha from a friend or store-bought kombucha, but make sure it's a raw, unflavored variety.

Can I start kombucha without a SCOBY? ›

You can actually make kombucha without a SCOBY, but it can take up to three times as long and sometimes people have problems. Part of the job of the SCOBY is giving added bacteria while it ferments, protecting the tea, and keeping it filled with plenty of good bacteria and good yeasts.

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.

Does store bought kombucha continue to ferment? ›

Once kombucha is refrigerated, it'll still continue to ferment, but at a very slow pace. So it'll still continue to get more carbonated and more acidic in the refrigerator as the yeasts continue to eat the sugars in your brew.

How do I make a second batch of kombucha? ›

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTTLING KOMBUCHA FOR A SECOND FERMENTATION
  1. Remove the SCOBY from the finished kombucha.
  2. Add the desired flavoring and mix to combine.
  3. Bottle the flavored kombucha in airtight bottles leaving a few inches of headspace.
  4. Leave the bottled kombucha to ferment for 2-14 days at room temperature.

Can I grow a SCOBY from flavored kombucha? ›

A pure, fresh brew that grows a new, healthy SCOBY each time it ferments should have ZERO added flavors (including from the tea with which it's brewed). Even commercial brews that are flavored with fruit and truly natural flavors can introduce bad bacteria and the potential for mold formation.

Can you ferment kombucha more? ›

However, if you want to flavor your kombucha and create more carbonation to make it flavored, fizzy beverage, you have to go through a second fermentation process in an airtight bottle.
