Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ gallon kombucha* from a first fermentation this is not store bought kombucha, 1.9 L
  • ½ cup blood orange juice 120 mL
  • 4 Tbsp dried food-grade rose buds about 7 g

Instructions

  • Bottle: Evenly distribute juice and rose buds into fermentation bottles. Pour in kombucha, leaving 1 to 2 inches free at the top.
  • Ferment: Place in a dark, room temperature area for 3 to 10 days, until it reaches the carbonation level you like. This process will go faster in warmer climates, and slower in cooler climates.
  • Enjoy: Chill in the fridge before serving, optionally straining out the flowers and fibers. Can be stored in the fridge, tightly sealed, for several weeks.

Notes

*Which tea is best? I used black tea kombucha, but green or hibiscus kombucha would also be great.
