    Peach Kombucha

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    This sweet homemade Peach Kombucha is a fun treat. It's inexpensive and easy to make. It is fizzy just like store-bought.

    Why buy store-bought kombucha when it's so easy to make your own!

    If you're like me, you probably have kombucha in your fridge at all times. I like to have at least one glass of it a day. So I decided I needed to make it on a regular basis.

    It saves me a ton of money, and it doesn't take very long. Plus, you can control how much sweetener to put in it.

    This easy recipe can be made any time of the year because you can use fresh or frozen peaches. I have even made it with canned peaches.

    Another recipe using peaches is my Frozen Peach Daiquiri recipe.

    Two Types of Fermentation

    For the first fermentation of kombucha 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 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

    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.
    • Peaches: You can use fresh peaches, frozen peaches or peach juice.

    🥣 Supplies

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

    🔪 Instructions

    Pour ¼ cup sliced peaches or peach juice into each bottle. Pour your freshly fermented homemade kombucha into the bottles, leaving a few inches at the top of each bottle. Let sit 3-5 days.

    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 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 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

    • Only use bottles with swing top lids! Mason jars and store-bought kombucha bottles that have the seal broken won't hold carbonation.
    • Refrigerate after the kombucha is done fermenting.
    • If you don't want chunks of peaches, you'll need to strain after the kombucha is done fermenting or when pouring yourself a glass, or you could use peach juice.

      I used this recipe for my very first batch of kombucha and it was absolutely delicious! I’ve since used the same basic principle and made strawberry, cherry, and blueberry! It’s so satisfying to make my own at home, and so simple!!
