Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon kombucha from a first fermentation this is not store bought kombucha, 1.9 L
- 1/2 cup blackberries fresh or frozen, 100 g
- 1/4 cup water 60 mL
- 1 Tbsp sugar 10 g
- 1/2 tsp vanilla can use a piece of vanilla pod + seeds for stronger flavor
Instructions
- Cook: Add berries, water, and sugar to a medium saucepan. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until berries burst, mashing them a bit to form a thick liquid (should take about 10 minutes). Let cool to room temperature (to quicken this up, set pan in a sink full of cold water).
- Bottle: Evenly distribute berries and vanilla into fermentation bottles. Pour in first fermentation kombucha, leaving 1 to 2 inches free at the top.
- Ferment: For 3 to 10 days, until it reaches the carbonation level you like.
- Enjoy: Chill in the fridge before serving, optionally straining out the fruit fibers.

Notes
*If this is your first time brewing, it may be helpful to use a plastic water bottle as a gauge. Fill a disposable plastic bottle with kombucha (leaving 2 inches empty at the top). When this bottle becomes rock hard, you’ll know the glass bottle are also ready. This will help you gauge how quickly kombucha brews in your climate and will prevent bottle explosions.
