Proper Mixing Ratios for Mango Kombucha

Creating mango kombucha involves precise mixing ratios to guarantee the perfect balance of flavors. Follow these steps for ideal results:

  • Start with 8 ounces of plain carbonated kombucha.
  • Use 1 cup of ripe mango, peeled and diced.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, if desired for extra sweetness.
  • Include 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice for a zesty touch.
  • Optionally, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

Begin by blending the diced mango until smooth. Strain the mango puree to remove any pulp if you prefer a smoother texture.

Next, combine the mango puree with fresh lime juice and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Once combined, pour the mango mixture into a glass cup. Slowly add the 8 ounces of plain carbonated kombucha. Stir gently to mix the flavors without losing carbonation.

Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately over ice or in a chilled glass for ideal enjoyment.
