Tart, slightly sweet, fizzy, and full of healthy probiotics, this Kombucha Recipe is an easy, step-by-step approach for how to make this flavorful drink at home.

Kombucha is a fermented tea-based, healthy probiotic drink with a fizzy effervescent kick. It can be unflavored or flavored. Depending on what ingredients you flavor it with, the kombucha can taste sweet and fruity, tea-like and herbal, or tart and citrusy.

Kombucha can be purchased at your local health food store, or even at your regular grocery store, but it's actually really easy to make. Not to mention, it’s more economical.

For example, I'll use bone broth anytime a recipe calls for regular broth. Smoothies are another great option, they give you that 'sweet craving' satisfaction, but are good for you. Metabolism Boosting Tea (tastes like an iced chai) and Breakfast Cookies are more favorites of ours.

That's why I love this recipe. It does so much good for your body but tastes like a yummy carbonated treat, or a cocktail or mocktail .

The tea should sit at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, in a spot where it won't be disturbed for 7-10 days. I keep mine on my kitchen counter in the back corner.

After 7 days, give the tea a taste. If it's still too sweet, then give it a few more days. If you like the taste, then you can bottle it, chill it and serve.

The longer you let it sit, the more fizz it will have. If you let it go much longer than the 7 days, then just be careful when you open it. It may fizz up and bubble over upon opening.

You can serve it straight up or over ice. I love adding a garnish to mine, just for fun and it feels fancy, or like a celebration. Candied ginger is so delicious as a garnish on the ginger kombucha.

Kombucha is tart, slightly sweet, and effervescent. It can be flavored, which will add more variety to the taste. It could be fruity, floral, spicy, or herbaceous depending on how it's flavored.

Kombucha contains probiotics that are beneficial to the immune system. The probiotics also aid in digestion. If the kombucha is created from green tea, then there are high counts of antioxidants that protect your cells from free radical damage. Antioxidants also help burn fat and lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Kombucha is accepted as being safe for children. If you have very young children or toddlers, you may want to dilute it a little. My children have all been drinking it since they were about 5 or 6 years old.

A SCOBY will last for years and can be reused over and over. However, your SCOBYs will multiply as you brew kombucha. You can gently tear off the new SCOBY and use that in your next batch, or store the extras in the starter tea. If you put them in the refrigerator they will become dormant. You can pull them out again when you are ready to use them.

You’ll know if your SCOBY has gone bad if you see traces of mold or if it turns black. Mold will look green, white, or black and can be fuzzy. If this is the case, then it has likely been contaminated with bad bacteria, and it should be discarded immediately.

As far as health benefits, the list is long. You may or may not be interested in all of these, but I've listed what I've found from researching it. For me, I'm completely content with just the

How To Brew Kombucha At Home

You can use fresh fruit, frozen fruit, or fruit juice to add additional flavor. Herbs and spices can also be used. Here are a few ideas to try or get your juices going (ha! see what I did there?!). The flavor combinations are endless.

Let’s talk a little more about the SCOBY. People can get hung up on this part if they're not familiar or have never used one.

These little good bacteria and yeast colonies often look like slimy, rubbery, disks. Their color can vary from white to yellowish-brown. Some of them will have a stringy bottom that is -gross looking- but normal.

The bacteria and yeast in the SCOBY will feed on the sugars in the tea you use, thus transforming your sugars into ethanol and cellulose.

The entire process turns regular tea into tasty kombucha with a healthy SCOBY colony floating on the top. The ethanol production will not produce enough alcohol to be intoxicating, it is less than 0.5%

If you want to make a hard kombucha, you’ll need to use a different yeast, andthere is an additional step. We don't consume a lot of alcohol in our home aside from the occasional glass of wine, so I have not tested this.

How To Make Kombucha At Home And Flavor It

Because kombucha is live and raw, it rarely goes bad. Let your smell and taste be the judge here. If it tastes tarter and like vinegar, then it's getting older. It won't harm you but probably won't taste as good. If it just tastes 'off', then don't drink it.

SCOBYs can be stored at room temperature in starter tea (make sure they are submerged and the top of the jar is covered). They will multiply just as they do when you are brewing kombucha.

You can also store extra SCOBYs in the refrigerator (also in the starter tea) and they will become dormant. Then you can pull it out for use at a later time.

You will need airtight glass bottles for this recipe.  I recommend getting 16 oz bottles; this recipe is written for them, they are a convenient size for drinking directly from the bottle, and they work well with kombucha overall!  Ideally, you should have a funnel as well.  If you do not have a funnel, you can slice the strawberries into small pieces and place them in the bottles.  However, removing the strawberries from your bottles after drinking can be a hassle!

The recipe is written for one 16 oz bottle; if you are brewing kombucha by the gallon, you should end up with enough to make 6-7 16 oz bottles of this recipe.  You can always puree enough strawberries for all of your kombucha at once, and split it up between your bottles afterwards.  Do whatever is easiest for you!

Strawberry Cream Soda Kombucha is an excellent way to satisfy a sweet tooth. In spite of the wide array of health benefits it offers, this recipe is good enough to trick you into thinking you had a delicious dessert!
