Servings: 8 cups

- ½ gallon kombucha from a first fermentation this is not store bought kombucha, 1.9 L
- 3 inches fresh ginger about 3 Tbsp grated
- 4 Tbsp orange juice 60 mL
- 4 whole cloves

Instructions
- Prep: Finely chop or grate the ginger, and gather the rest of your ingredients.
- Bottle: Evenly distribute ginger, juice, and spices into fermentation bottles*. Pour in first fermentation 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.
