Jack fruit and turmeric Kombucha

This is my second round at brewing Kombucha for health reason. To get some amazing recipes, ideas and insights be sure to check out Hannah Crum and discover a whole new world of KT (kombucha tea). Well known for it’s probiotic properties, I’ve been experimenting with flavours in the 2nd fermentation stage. This was an all time favourite flavour until I discovered vanilla beans.

To 1 litre fresh brewed and fermented Kombucha add

  • 4 pieces of finely sliced fresh jack fruit.
  • 1 small piece of fresh turmeric.

Seal and let sit for a couple of days. As an experienced brewer who has suffered a few explosions, I am mindful of the danger of 2nd ferment brewing, however if you look closely to this photo you will see little bubbles! Packed full of goodness I can’t get enough of this stuff! Enjoy ;)

Turmeric and hibiscus Kombucha

Turmeric and hibiscus kombucha

This kicks like a mule and sharpens the taste buds! Similar in colour to the hibiscus and vanilla KT that I make this one is more spicy and tart.  I encourage you to check out Hannah Crum for recipes and research!

Well known for it’s probiotic properties, I’ve been experimenting with flavours in the 2nd fermentation stage.

To 1 litre fresh brewed and fermented Kombucha add

  • 4 fresh picked hibiscus flowers
  • 1 small piece of fresh turmeric (about the size of a thumb nail)

Seal and let sit for a couple of days. As an experienced brewer who has suffered a few explosions, I am mindful of the danger of 2nd ferment brewing and always take care to burp bottles as needed.

Seal and let sit for a couple of days. As an experienced brewer who has suffered a few explosions, I am mindful of the danger of 2nd ferment brewing, however if you look closely to this photo you will see how jam packed the glass is with bubbles. Better than champagne and packed full of goodness I can’t get enough of this stuff.
