    Forget about store-bought fruit juice, this Passion Fruit Kombucha is the ultimate flavorful thirst quencher.

    This kombucha is sweet and tart. It reminds me of bottled fruit juice I've had.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet and tart.
    • It is rich in probiotics.
    • It is cheaper than store-bought kombucha.

    Two Types of Fermentation

    To make homemade kombucha, you start with the first fermentation.

    The first fermentation of kombucha is when you combine sweetened tea, a kombucha scoby, 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.

    You can ferment even longer, if needed, letting the kombucha ferment for 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.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients with labels.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Homemade kombucha: You'll need freshly made kombucha that has not been refrigerated yet.
    • Passion fruit: You can use frozen passion fruit or fresh passion fruit.

    🥣 Supplies

    • Funnel
    • 4 (25 ounce) bottles with flip top lids
    • Measuring cup

    🔪 Instructions

    Step 1: If you are using frozen passion fruit, allow it to thaw first. Pour ½ cup passion fruit into each bottle.

    Step 2: Pour your homemade kombucha into the bottles, leaving 1-2" head space. Let sit 3-5 days.

    Pop open the lids at least once a day. Pressure builds, and this allows it to escape. Taste each day to test its flavor and fizziness.

    For this Passion Fruit Kombucha recipe I let it ferment 5 days.

    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.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    💭 Tips

    • Use bottles with swing-top lids! Mason jars and store-bought kombucha bottles that have the seal broken won't hold carbonation.
    • Strain before bottling if you don't want chunks of fruit.
    • You can add maple syrup with agave syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, or another sweetener.
    • Refrigerate after the kombucha is done fermenting.
