    Learn how to make Ginger Berryade Kombucha which is a fizzy, delicious, probiotic-filled explosion of berries, ginger, and lemonade flavors. Includes a video so you know exactly what to do.

    Ginger Berryade Kombucha recipe from @Meme // Living Well Kitchen is a fizzy, delicious, probiotic-filled explosion of the delicious flavors of berries, ginger, and lemonade. Save tons of money by making your own homemade kombucha! It's even tastier than the store bought drink. Video included!

    Remember when we made kombucha last month? Hopefully, your batch is ready to be bottled because I have a recipe for the best way to flavor your kombucha.

    It's my absolute favorite flavor and be forewarned, it'll make you love kombucha.

    You'll have to remember that you can't drink more than 8-16 ounces without running the risk of a little stomach upset (because of ALL the probiotics in the kombucha if your stomach isn't accustomed to them).

    It's incredibly simple to make. You just need some kombucha, berries -- I prefer a combination of berries but the farmers market I went to that day was out of strawberries (wah?!) so I just grabbed blueberries. It's delish either way -- lemon juice, ginger, and some honey.

    Honey is optional but I like adding a little.

    It helps your kombucha be a little fizzier, and if you brew your kombucha for longer than 4 weeks, you're probably gonna want some honey to it to make it a little bit sweeter.

    Juice your lemon(s) and grate the ginger then put all the ingredients in a little food processor or blender, and blend away.

    Then transfer it into your desperately-needing-some-flava bottled kombucha.

    You can immediately transfer this to the fridge, but a second fermentation helps the flavors blend a little more; plus it makes it fizzier and fizzier is more fun, amiright?

    So just stick those flavored bottles on the counter next to your next batch of kombucha and let ferment for another day or two.

    Pop them in the fridge (to stop the fermentation) and grab a bottle when you're ready for fizzy, delicious, probiotic-filled explosion of flavors.

    Fun fact: drinking too much kombucha in one day can make your stomach unhappy.

    So drink this stuff cautiously, and by cautiously I mean don't drink 48 ounces in one day.

    Even if you want to.

    It's that good.

    Basically, if you're trying to get on the kombucha train but you think it tastes too much like vinegar, this is the way to go!

    Ingredients

    • 14 cups kombucha ready to be bottled
    • 1 cup berries any berries
    • 2 lemons enough to make 1/3 cup lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger

    Instructions

    • Juice 1 to 2 lemons to make 1/3 cup lemon juice. Add the lemon juice to the food processor
    • Peel and grate the fresh ginger and add to the food processor.
    • Add a tablespoon of honey if desired. If you brewed your kombucha for a longer amount of time you might want to add two tablespoons because it won't be as sweet
    • Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a cup.
    • Using a funnel, add a few tablespoons of the mixture into your bottles with brewed kombucha.
    • Close the bottles and transfer to a cool place for a day or two for a second ferment.

    Notes

    *From one batch of kombucha, you'll get about 14 cups
    *Any berries work. I prefer blueberries or strawberries or a combination of both
    *A one inch piece will give you about 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger
    *This mixture makes about 1 cup (or 16 tablespoons). An average batch of kombucha will make about 14 cups which is about 7 (16 ounce) bottles, so you will probably use between 2 and 3 tablespoons per bottle.
    *A second ferment will help the flavor develop a little more and cause your kombucha to be fizzier.

      This looks so delicious! I love the flavors you used for this kombucha. I've never tried them before in kombucha, I have usually only really tried strawberry and pineapple. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try making this at home.

      I made this on a whim. I have to say that this is by far the best batch of Kombucha I have made yet. It gave me a great fizzy and great tasting drink. I have to strain it a bit more but the taste payoff is worth the trouble. The color is great also. Truely a pleasure to drink. I have found my favorite go to delight... Thank You!!!!
