Ingredients
Instructions
-
Wash the apples, remove the stems and seeds, and cut into quarters. Keep the peel for extra nutrients, if desired.
-
In a medium saucepan, add the apples, water, cinnamon sticks and ginger. Allow it to come to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Add the honey.
-
Simmer for another 10 minutes until the apples become soft. Remove the cinnamon and ginger.
-
Take the mixture off the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
-
Transfer your apple mixture into a high-speed blender and blend it until completely smooth.
-
Position a fine-mesh strainer lined with a cheesecloth over a medium bowl and pour the apple juice through it, separating most of the pulp. Use a spatula to gently move the pulp around, extracting as much juice as possible.
-
To assemble your drink, combine the apple juice with the ginger kombucha and serve right away!
-
Serve it with ice and an apple slice for garnish.
Note
We recommend using homemade kombucha for this recipe. If not possible, opt for a high-quality commercial kombucha with no additives.
You can store your pre-made apple juice in a sealed glass container for three days in the fridge. Add extra kombucha as you need it so your beverage doesn’t lose the effervescence!
