With its sweet-tart flavor and spicy edge, this ginger kombucha recipe is always a favorite. It’s easy to make and adds a little life to your homemade kombucha. It’s similar in flavor to classic ginger beer—only with a decidedly tart finish. To make this, you’ll need to start with 12 cups of freshly brewed basic kombucha tea.

Makes about 3 quarts (12 servings)

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 6 ounces fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 12 cups prepared kombucha tea

Place the water, honey, and ginger into a small saucepan, and bring it all to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir constantly, then turn off the heat as soon as the honey is fully dissolved.
