Try This Refreshing Mango Kombucha and Become an Expert Brewer 

To prepare this refreshing mango kombucha, you will need water, organic white cane sugar, coconut sugar, green tea, rooibos tea, starter, fresh mango, tangerine juice, lime juice, and lemon juice.

You can always substitute some of these when needed. Try using cane sugar, brown sugar, molasses, black tea, ginger tea, rose tea, fresh peaches, orange juice, and apple cider vinegar.

The idea behind this recipe is that you will be mixing the tea with the sugar and starter to create your first fermentation of kombucha. You can check the flavor of this batch right after the first day, if you need to remove sweetness, you can remove two cups of tea and set it aside.

Once your first fermentation is ready, you can create the secondary one by adding mango chunks, coconut sugar, and fruit juice. This fermentation is the longest one and will likely take nine days. It is a long time, but worth it.  

After your kombucha is ready, you will need to strain the tea and place it in bottles, and set them in the refrigerator for about two hours minimum.

This tasty kombucha lasts for about nine days in the fridge. Enjoy it on its own or with some juice or your favorite spirit for a different kind of cocktail!
