Ingredients

  • about 3 cups fermented sweet tea (from primary fermentation)
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup lime juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Use carbonation-safe bottles; recipe makes ~6 cups (e.g., three 16-oz bottles).

  2. 2

    Mix pineapple juice, lime juice, and coconut water.

  3. 3

    Fill bottle ~1/2 full with fermented sweet tea.

  4. 4

    Top with juice mix, leaving ~1 inch headspace.

  5. 5

    Cap and gently invert to mix.

  6. 6

    Ferment at room temp (70–80°F) ~5 days.

  7. 7

    Carefully check carbonation; refrigerate when ready.

Recipe Notes

  • Press your own juice or use 100% bottled juice (no additives).
  • If using fresh-pressed juice, heat to ~145°F briefly then cool before use.
  • Ratio tweak: 3 parts kombucha : 1 part juice for lower sugar; 1:1 for sweeter.
