Mango kombucha is one of my favorite flavors to buy at the store, only second to GT's gingerberry. So of course I had to try to make it for myself.
Making your own kombucha is super easy and way cheaper than store-bought. If you drink it a lot like me, it is well worth your time.
This mango kombucha recipe is just as good as store-bought and you can control how much mango you put in.
For a milder kombucha try my Green Tea Kombucha with Mango. Using green tea in the first fermentation results in a milder flavor.
Some other recipes with mango I've made are Lemonade with Mango and Mango Ice Cream.

โค๏ธ Why You'll Love It
- It is sweet and fruity.
- It's cheaper than store-bought kombucha.
- It is fizzy and refreshing.
Two Types of Fermentation
For the first fermentation of kombucha, you combine sweetened tea, a kombucha scoby (kombucha culture), and some starter tea. You let it ferment for 7-21 days and the result is uncarbonated unflavored kombucha.
The second fermentation involves taking that kombucha you made in the first fermentation and adding flavor. You let it ferment for another 3-5 days in sealed bottles. The result is a fizzy flavored drink.
This recipe involves making a second fermentation.
You can ferment even longer, if needed, letting the kombucha ferment up to 14 days. It all depends on the amount of sugar content in the flavor you're adding, and the temperature of the room.
Warmer temperatures will cause faster fermentation, and higher sugar content will also speed up fermentation.
What Makes Kombucha Fizzy?
The second fermentation is when kombucha gets fizzy. By putting it into a sealed container at room temperature and adding a sugar source (fruit and/or sweetener), carbon dioxide builds.
๐งพ Ingredients
- Homemade kombucha: You'll need freshly made kombucha that has not been refrigerated yet.
- Mango: You can use fresh or frozen mango for this mango kombucha recipe. You could also use mango puree or mango juice.

๐ฅฃ Supplies
- Funnel
- 4 (25 ounce) bottles with flip top lids
- Measuring cup
๐ช Instructions
Step 1: Smush ยฝ cup chopped mango into each bottle.
Step 2: Pour your freshly fermented homemade kombucha into the bottles, leaving 1-2" head space. Let sit 3-5 days at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
Step 3: Pop open the lids at least once a day. Pressure builds, and this allows it to escape.
Should I Burp My Second Ferment Kombucha?
Yes! If you don't you could have a mess. By adding sugar to the homemade kombucha and fermenting it a second time in bottles with swing top lids, you're creating an environment for carbonation. If you don't allow it to escape, you'll have kombucha all over your kitchen.
How Long Does It Take To Get Fizzy Kombucha?
It can take anywhere from 1-14 days. It depends on a few things.
- It depends on how much sugar you have in the kombucha. (Sugar in the form of fruit and/or sweetener.) The more sugar, the faster you'll get carbonation.
- It also depends on the weather. Warmer temperature = faster carbonation. I've had bubbly kombucha after a day in summer months and bubbly kombucha after a week in colder months.
๐ญ Tips
- After it's done fermenting, you can strain out the mango or leave it in.
- Refrigerate after the kombucha is done fermenting.
