    I am so grateful for you! :) I have been brewing for about 2 years and although I do many things different, I appreciate your videos. My favorite flavor is lavender flower, chamomille leaves and lemon peel with a tiny bit of lemon juice. Sounds gross but is crazy delicious! My everyday go-to is whole blueberries, ginger root and lemon peel. :) I have done a lemon jalepeno and it was awesome as well!

    • @tinawatrous9295
      @tinawatrous9295 Před 3 lety +3

      @@20eshag.10 I do not do EXACT anything, especially proportions... LOL. That being said, I use 1 sprig of lavender (stems and/or flowers) and a sprig of chamomile, a strip of lemon zest and about 1 tsp of the juice from said lemon... As was stated in the video, lemon juice goes a long way in kombucha. It is mostly to taste with too many variables to say exactly.
      Please let me know how you like it. :)

    One tip; I use frozen fruit (mostly berries) instead of ice cubes to chill and flavour my kombucha. I also drink some water after a glass of kombucha to save my teeth, I'm old and don't have the best teeth and like my kombucha very sour.

  • @nickvreys
    @nickvreys Před 3 lety

    Thank you for some amazing ideas!
    I've always been mono-flavouring mine, but I'm starting to think that's a mistake. Cause a simple ginger kombucha was actually not very good, but now that I've paired it with a granny smith apple, it's heaven. Same with citrus flavours like orange or blood orange. I've made both in the past, but they are just gross. Will try to mix some other fruits in there to balance the flavour.
    Agreed that passionfruit is a winner! Can't wait to try it with pommegranate. In fact, I bought a bottle for a stew tonight, so on sunday-brewday, I'll use the rest for a brew.

    I'm new to kombucha, but decades old to ferments and I wonder does this rule apply...One thing I've learned the hard way, though grandma tried to tell me decades ago (I was a kid. I didn't get it.) Don't dig into your ferments; any ferment; with your fingers. I can still hear her voice yelling 'Get your hand out of that crock'😊 You can possibly introduce organisms that compete with or actually kill the good bugs in the perfect ferment that could have lasted for months. Use a clean utensil; no forking out one piece, sticking that fork full in your mouth and going back in for a second bite.

    I like your videos..very informative...but I have one comment..why are your dipping the same straw into the batches of kombucha. Won't it contaminate the kombucha?

    Can you put the flavored kombucha in canning jars?
