The base for your apple-ginger-cinnamon kombucha
Before we dive into the fascinating world of apple-ginger-cinnamon kombucha, let's briefly talk about kombucha. This fermented drink has gained popularity in recent years and offers not only a refreshing taste experience but also numerous health benefits. For this recipe, you need ready-made kombucha, which you can easily prepare yourself with our Kombucha Starter Set or our Kombucha starter liquid.
If you are new to the world of kombucha brewing, take a look at our guide, which includes a simple recipe and a step-by-step approach to making your own homemade kombucha.
The Kombucha Starter
The kombucha starter – also known as a kombucha mother or starter liquid – forms the foundation for your own kombucha fermentation at home. With our active starter liquid, you can start your first batch of kombucha in just 7-12 days and easily enter the world of fermentation.
With the very first batch, the natural fermentation process automatically creates your own SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). This continues to develop with each subsequent batch and supports stable and active fermentation in the long term. This way, you can keep making new kombucha and sustainably continue your fermentation process.
Our kombucha starter liquid contains everything you need to get started – for authentic, self-fermented kombucha with live cultures and natural fermentation.
If you are just starting to ferment, our Kombucha Starter Set, including step-by-step instructions, is the perfect way to dive into the world of self-fermented kombucha one step at a time.
