Cherry Vanilla Kombucha

Recipe Description:

Kombucha with a second ferment using cherries and vanilla. It’s an excellent replacement for Cherry Vanilla Coke but with all real ingredients.

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 1 quart

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

Small handful of dried cherries (fresh or frozen would work too)

1/2 tsp vanilla powder or 1 tsp vanilla extract

1 quart kombucha already brewed

Recipe Instructions:

In your quart mason jar (or upcycled glass jar), add cherries and vanilla. Pour kombucha over them right up to the rim of the jar. Cover tightly to build up carbonation. The cherries cause it too carbonate pretty fast so to avoid an exploding jar (it can happen), you might want to burp it once or twice a day. Let it set for about 2 days then strain off the fruit and transfer to flip top bottles. I love these bottles! You can either drink right away or let set for another day to rebuild carbonation. Move to the fridge to stop yeast and bacteria activity or drink up! Kombucha doesn’t last long in our house. I keep my kombucha on the counter in a cooler part of the kitchen because it seems to lose carbonation once you refrigerate it.
