Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the cranberry juice and lime to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the cranberry lime mixture from heat, and allow it to cool.
- Using a funnel, fill your pressure-safe, swing-top fermentation bottles 3/4ths of the way full with fermented sweet sweet tea from your Kombucha Primary Fermentation.
- Top off the bottle with the cooled cranberry lime juice mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Allow fermenting at room temperature (70-80° F) for 3-7 Days. Then refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Open the bottles carefully over the sink. Place one hand firmly on the cap before opening the metal swing closure.
- Pour over ice, garnish with fresh lime slices and enjoy!
Notes
*for an extra fizzy kombucha, you can allow the second fermentation to proceed for up to seven days. Be cautious though, you don’t want the bottle to explode.
