    Spicy and sweet in one fizzy glass, this fermented beverage keeps your stomach happy and your tastebuds even happier! How to make your own flavored kombucha at home. Apple Cinnamon Ginger Kombucha will become your new favorite fall, winter, holiday drink

    I love keeping homemade kombucha in my house.

    I drink it in the morning for energy, plus it makes my stomach feel so much better!

    I even drove across the country with my scoby (and it's basically the only thing I can keep alive. I have a black thumb) when I moved from New Orleans to San Diego.

    I have really been loving this Cranberry Orange Kombucha for the holiday season and thought it couldn't get better. That is until I tried this Apple Cinnamon Ginger flavor. Holy yum!!!

    I have to restrain myself from drinking more than 2 cups a day because I love it so much! P.S. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to kombucha. I do not recommend drinking more than 16 ounces a day.

    If you think you don't like kombucha, try this one.

    To ease yourself into loving kombucha, brew the kombucha for only 7-10 days. Plus, add a little extra maple syrup to this apple-cinnamon-ginger mixture.

    Then you can work your way to brewing a little longer and/or using less maple syrup.

    It's just too good for you to miss out because you had a bad experience with a vinegar-tasting kombucha in the past!

    Want to know how to brew your own kombucha? Watch the video below plus the one under the recipe to see how to flavor the kombucha (just be sure to use this mixture in place of the ginger berry-ade mixture) 🙂

    Servings: 14 cups
    Author: Meme

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups apple cider or unfiltered apple juice
    • 1 small apple grated, or ½ cup applesauce
    • 1 teaspoon grated ginger from a 1 inch piece
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • 14 cups kombucha

    Instructions

    • Add the apple cider, grated apple, grated ginger, and apple stick to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 25 to 35 minutes until the mixture reduces by half.
    • Stir in maple syrup and remove from heat.
    • Let cool completely before transferring the mixture to freshly brewed kombucha.

    Notes

    *The mixture makes 1 cup.
    A batch of kombucha will yield about 14 cups (because you reserve 2 cups for the next batch).
    You can bottle in half gallon containers or 16 ounce containers. Add equal amounts to each cup depending on size of the container. (Half gallon container will use ½ cup mixture for each. 16 ounce container will use about 2 tablespoon for each)
