Notes
Tips for Lemon Ginger Kombucha Recipe Success
- Use organic ginger and organic lemon
- Leave the skin of the ginger on (don't peel). This provides extra bacteria for fermentation
- Fill with kombucha as close to the top of the brew jar as possible. The less space you leave at the top, the more carbon dioxide will form inside the liquid and create more carbonation.
- If using flip-top bottles, or bottles with tight-fitting lids, make sure to burb your bottles on a daily basis to avoid explosions
- If you prefer to use a lemon slice, you can cut up your lemon very finely and use those instead of lemon juice
