Drinking kombucha every day is a habit I picked up while I was writing my cookbook, Delicious Probiotic Drinks. Although I don’t brew as many probiotic beverages as I did while developing recipes for the cookbook, I still brew kombucha regularly. I almost always have a freshly bottled batch in the refrigerator. I tend to start brewing a new batch before I run out of inventory so that I have a continual stock. I couldn’t possibly go a single day without my favorite afternoon pick-me-up designer brands for less!
Quick note: If you’re new to kombucha and want to learn about its health benefits or how to make it at home, read my post on How to Make Homemade Kombucha.
Along with spunky spring produce, there has been an onslaught of plump and juicy ripe strawberries at my local grocery store. I picked up a huge case of strawberries a couple of weeks ago and used them in all sorts of recipes, from overnight oatmeal to salad to simple syrup. Unsure of what to do with the remaining berries, I remembered I had a batch of ‘bucha that was ready to be bottled Piano.
The obvious solution to my berry conundrum was to use them to flavor my kombucha for secondary fermentation. Because I love fruit and herbs together, I included basil in on the action (probably one of the best decisions I ever did make), and I ended up bottling 2 gallons of Strawberry Basil Kombucha. This is a winning flavor combination and makes for a fizzy, tasty treat!
