Apple Pie Kombucha

Apple Pie Kombucha

(16 oz./470-mL)

Nothing says fall like apple pie, and with kombucha’s natural tang this is a match made in heaven. The additional cinnamon provides a deeper dimension to the flavor, but it may be omitted if preferred.

Ingredients

15 oz. (440 mL) kombucha
1⁄4 cup diced apples or 1 Tbls. apple juice
1⁄2 teaspoon chai spice (blend of dried ginger, nutmeg, clove, and orange peel)
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon chips

Step by step

Combine the ingredients in a 16-oz. (470-mL) bottle and cap tightly. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 to 3 days and then move to the fridge (if desired) to slow fermentation. If leaving the pieces in the bottle, consume within a week or it may be strained and stored for longer.
