Maple Kombucha - Recipe by Maple from Canada



Maple Kombucha - Recipe by Maple from Canada

Ingredients

2 L kombucha scoby, with 200mL of starter liquid
140mL pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
2 cups water
6 cups water
2 black tea bags
1 handful of strawberries, mint and grapefruit to garnish

Method

Bring 500mL of water and the pure maple syrup to a boil and remove from the heat.

Add 2 tea bags and allow to steep while it cools to room temperature.

Transfer to a 3L jar, top with 1.5L water and add the kombucha scoby. Cover the jar with a cloth and secure with some string.

Allow it to ferment for 6–8 days out of direct sunlight. You will see a second scoby appear above the original.

You can drink your maple kombucha straight over ice or add some grapefruit, mint and strawberries for additional flavour.
