This Ginger Kombucha Scoby Candy is a great way to use your kombucha scobys. This candy is sweet and chewy, like store-bought ginger chews!
Did you know that you can eat a kombucha scoby? Yep, it's true.
Do you want to eat it right out of the kombucha hotel? Probably not since it's a bit tough and chewy.
You could blend it into a smoothie, but I personally load my poor smoothies so much that there isn't much room for anything else.
Enter scoby candy - literally the best way to use up all those kombucha scobys that normally go into the trash. I can't believe I've been throwing away scobys all this time.
For this recipe I marinated the scoby in water, maple syrup, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Then I dehydrated the scoby. The result is a flavorful candy similar to ginger chews. Yum!

Kombucha Recipes
How To Make This Recipe
- Mix water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground ginger.
- Slice kombucha scoby into 1" chunks. Marinate in the marinade for 8 hours. Drain.
- Place marinated scoby pieces on a teflon lined dehydrator sheet. Dehydrate for 36 hours or until the desired chewiness is achieved.
How Long Will They Last?
This recipe will last 1-2 weeks in an airtight container. They dry out even more after dehydrating, so I wouldn't store them too long.
Do I Have To Dehydrate Them?
No, you could bake them at the lowest oven setting instead. I haven't tried this method yet, so I can't speak for the results.
The reason for dehydrating the scoby is to keep all of its nutrients.
Variations / Additions
- Other spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- Agave syrup, dates, sugar, brown sugar, or vanilla simple syrup
