Method
Brewing the Kombucha
- 1
Prepare the Tea
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 4 organic black tea bags. Let steep for 15 minutes.
- 2
Dissolve Sugar
After removing the tea bags, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- 3
Combine with Starter Tea
Once cooled, pour the sweetened tea into a fermentation vessel. Add 1 cup of starter tea to the mixture.
- 4
Add the SCOBY
Gently place the SCOBY into the fermentation vessel. Cover the opening with a clean cloth or coffee filter secured with a rubber band to allow airflow while preventing contaminants.
Fermentation Process

Primary Fermentation
Allow the kombucha to ferment at room temperature (ideally 70-85°F or 21-29°C) for 7-14 days. Taste it periodically until it reaches your desired flavor profile.
Flavoring and Bottling

Add Flavorings
Once the primary fermentation is complete, remove the SCOBY and set it aside in a clean container with some of the kombucha. Add 1 cup of passionfruit puree and 1 cup of tangerine juice to the fermented tea. Stir well to combine.

Prepare for Secondary Fermentation
Pour the flavored kombucha into bottles, leaving some space at the top. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to each bottle to encourage carbonation.

Seal and Ferment Again
Seal the bottles tightly and leave them at room temperature for 3-7 days to carbonate. Be sure to check the carbonation level by opening a bottle daily.
Serving

Refrigerate and Enjoy
Once you reach your desired carbonation, refrigerate the bottles to slow fermentation. Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Health*ade Passionfruit Tangerine Kombucha!
