What is the best ratio of fruit juice to kombucha?

The juice ratio is slightly adjustable. The best ratio for lower sugar is 3 parts kombucha and 1 part juice. For slightly sweeter, as with this recipe, I do half kombucha half juice.

Is Peach Kombucha Alcoholic?

Yes and no. Like all kombucha, Peach kombucha naturally contains a trace amount of alcohol due to the natural mixed fermentation. Most homemade and store-bought kombucha contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, classifying it as non-alcoholic. However, alcohol levels can vary slightly depending on how long it ferments and the sugar content of added ingredients like peach juice or preserves.Less sugar in secondary fermentation means less alcohol.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Ingredients

about 3 cups fermented sweet tea from primary fermentation
1/2 cup peach preserves blended in 2 cups water*
1 cup lemon juice
3 fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

It is vital that you use carbonation safe bottles for secondary fermentation. This recipe makes 6 cups, so I use three 16-ounce bottles. See notes on different peach juice and peach flavor options.
Combine the lemon juice and peach mix/juice.
Fill a carbonation safe bottle about 1/2 full with fermented sweet tea from primary fermentation.
Top off the bottle with the juice mixture so there is about an inch of headspace left in the bottle.
Rinse the mint sprigs well and add one to each bottle.
Secure the bottle lid and gently invert it a couple times to mix.
Allow it to ferment at room temperature (70-80 degrees F) for about 4 to 5 Days.
Carefully open the lid to see if it is carbonated to your liking. If it is, refrigerate it. If not, continue to ferment for a few more days, carefully checking the carbonation again. Depending on the conditions, it can sometimes take 12-14 days to carbonate.
Keep refrigerated.

Notes

Peach juice options include: fresh pressed peach juice, bottled store-bought peach juice, or 1/2 cup peach preserves dissolved in 2 cups of water.
If using fresh pressed juice I suggest heating it to 145° F for a few minutes then cooling before using. This ensures no wild microbes get introduced into the kombucha.
The juice ratio is slightly adjustable. The best ratio for lower sugar is 3 parts kombucha and 1 part flavoring juice. For slightly sweeter, as with this recipe, I do half kombucha half juice mix.
Sub the lemon juice for pomegranate juice for another fun flavor combo.
