TIPS
- Use Fresh Ginger: Freshly squeezed juice offers the most potent and authentic flavour.
- Chill Your Kombucha: Cold kombucha maintains better carbonation and a cleaner taste.
- Stir Before Sipping: Pomegranate seeds settle; stir gently to ensure even flavour.
- Use A Fine Strainer If Needed: If ginger bits are present, strain before serving.
- Crush Some Seeds: For a deeper fruit flavour, so press a few pomegranate seeds before mixing.
VARIATIONS
- Citrus Kick: Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to boost vitamin C and tartness.
- Herbal Addition: Include a sprig of mint or basil for a refreshing herbal note.
- Berry Boost: Drop in a few raspberries or blueberries for added antioxidants.
- Sparkling Version: Mix half-soda water with kombucha for a lighter fizz.
- Spiced Warmth: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or clove for warming undertones.
- Sweet Touch: Drizzle a touch of honey or agave if you prefer a sweeter profile.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Store In Glass Bottles: Keep your infused kombucha in airtight glass jars or bottles in the fridge.
- Consume Within 24 Hours: Best enjoyed on the same day for maximum fizz and flavour.
- Avoid Long Steeping: Extended infusions may overpower ginger or cause bitterness.
- Do Not Freeze: Freezing disrupts the kombucha’s probiotic integrity and texture.
- Shake Or Stir Gently: Light mixing before drinking ensures all elements are evenly combined.
