We love the subtly-sweet, bubbly nature of kombucha. Besides just sipping cold or stirring into cocktails, kombucha is a great ingredient for a variety of recipes. Check out these kombucha recipes.
We love drinking kombucha, but with its probiotics and great flavors we’ve always thought that it can totally be used for more than just beverages. We touched base with Brew Dr. Kombucha to get some recipes ideas. Founded in Oregon, Brew Dr. Kombucha is not too sweet, but still packed with fizzy flavor and they use simple ingredients. We especially love the amount of time they spend putting out delicious, seasonal flavors.
Our current favorite flavor? Strawberry Basil.
