DIY - Pink Lady Apple Kombucha in Glass Beverage Bottles
As Seen On One Armed Mama
Kombucha gets a seasonal upgrade with pink lady apples and cider. This flavor combination is a winner.. Tart kombucha tea with juicy pink lady apples and not too sweet apple cider. Kombucha, a fermented sweet tea, is fizzy, lightly sweet and fruity + the bonus of health claims and caffeine! In its simplicity, it is just sweet tea combined with starter tea and scoby (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) which after 5-7 or so days devours the sugar resulting in basic unflavored kombucha. Unflavored kombucha can be refrigerated and consumed as is, but I like it best after a second ferment. The second fermentation or flavoring happens when you take already brewed Kombucha and infuse it with fruits, herbs, or flowers.

RECIPE
- Ingredients
- 16 oz Clear Glass Beverage Bottles, stock# 4034-05
- 64 oz plain kombucha (either home brewed or store-bought)
- 1 1/2 cups pink lady apples diced
- 3 cups apple cider
Instructions
Divide the chopped apples and cider into 16 ounce lidded bottles ensuring that the total fruit/juice amount does not exceed 30% of the bottle. - Pour plain kombucha to fill leaving very little headspace, so that it gets fizzy as fast as possible. Secure lids.
- Let sit at room temperature (70- 85 degrees) for at least 72 hours up to 7 days.
- Then store the bottled kombucha in the refrigerator until you are ready to drink.
- Serve chilled.
- Recipe Notes- The longer you let the second ferment sit at room temperature the more the vinegar flavor will develop. With increased fermentation you also increase the risk of explosion. Fermenting inside a cardboard box is recommended.
