Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Clean your bottles
    Dilute the PBW cleaner according to the productinstructions. Next, take your bottlebrush kit and scrub your fermentationbottles with the diluted cleaner. At last, rinse the bottles and let thebottles dry before adding any ingredients.
  • Prepare your ingredients
    To prepare the pomegranate, start by deseeding the fruit ina bowl of water. This will clean the pink seeds, also called the arils, of thefruit. Drain the water and wrap the arils in a muslin cloth or nut milk bag.Place a bowl below the wrapped arils and start squeezing until you get all thejuice from the arils. Set aside the nut milk bag or muslin cloth and divide thepomegranate juice into six portions.
    1 pomegranate makes about ½ cup of juice. This recipe uses 3pomegranates so you are likely to get about 1 ½ cup of pomegranate juice.Divide this into six portions and you should have about ¼ cup of pomegranatejuice for each bottle.
  • Add one portion of flavoring into each bottle
    Using a funnel, pour one portion of your pomegranate juiceinto each bottle.
  • Fill the bottles with Kombucha liquid
    Fill the bottles with Kombucha liquid. Make sure to leaveabout ½ to 1 inch of headspace in your bottles to achieve good carbonation. Ifyou want, you may opt to strain the excess yeast of the Kombucha liquid using amesh strain colander or a smaller sieve before transferring the liquid to thebottles.
    After filling the bottles, slightly shake the Kombucha toincorporate the ingredients. Then, set aside the remaining Kombucha liquid anduse it as a starter tea for your next Kombucha batches.
  • Ferment
    Shut your bottles completely to achieve good carbonationbuildup. After sealing the bottles, allow the Kombucha to ferment in afermentation station that has room temperature between 60℉to 85℉.If you are having trouble maintaining a warm temperature for your brew, you mayuse a heating mat. Depending on the carbonation and preferred taste,fermentation may last from 3 to 14 days.
  • Store your finished Kombucha in the refrigerator
    Start tasting your Kombucha after three days offermentation. If the taste already suits your taste, keep your Kombucha bottlesin the refrigerator to inhibit fermentation and preserve the taste. If you wantmore potent tasting Kombucha, allow it to ferment for more days.
  • Serve and enjoy
    Typically, bottled Kombucha has floating residues. Whilethese residues are safe to ingest, they can be unsightly, especially fornewbies. If these residues make you feel uncomfortable, feel free to strainthem.
