Apple Pie Kombucha
Ingredients
- Kombucha (single ferment)
- 2 Granny Smith Apples or other Tart Apple
- 2 Whole Cloves
- 2 Allspice Berries
- 1/2 Cinnamon Stick
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 1-liter swing-top bottle rated for carbonated beverages
Instructions
- Using a JUICER (I recommend this juicer), juice your apples and pour your fresh apple juice into your 1 liter kombucha bottle
- Add your cloves, allspice berries, 1/2 a cinnamon stick and 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Sugar to your bottle
- Add finished kombucha, leaving the bottle manufacturer’s recommended headspace. Apple juice yield varies; use another pressure-rated bottle for excess mixture rather than overfilling.
- Seal and gently mix to dissolve the sugar before pressure develops. Do not shake a carbonated bottle.
- Monitor daily during second fermentation and cautiously release pressure. The time varies with temperature, juice and the base kombucha; refrigerate when ready rather than leaving sealed bottles unattended.
- Move bottles to refrigeration for storage.
- Chill thoroughly, then open slowly over a sink, away from your face, without shaking.
- Strain kombucha through a small strainer in order to remove any clumps of spice. Serve cold.
- Enjoy!
