Cannabis Kombucha

Prep Time 5 minutes
Fermentation Time 10 days
Makes 24 oz. (750 ml)

Equipment

  • swing top bottle(s)
  • funnel
  • muslin tea bag (small)

Ingredients

  • 750 ml (24 fl. oz.) mature kombucha or water kefir
  • 25 ml (5 tsp.) cannabis syrup recipe link above
  • 10 g (about 1 inch) fresh ginger root OR
  • 3-5 g hops flowers or pellets

Instructions
 

  • With a funnel, add cannabis syrup to a clean glass bottle (either a swing top or one with a cap which can tighten.)
  • Wash, peel (optionally), and slice ginger into matchstick size pieces and add to bottle. If using hops, add flowers or pellets to a small reusable tea bag. Use a chopstick to push tea bag into bottle.
  • Top with plain kombucha or water kefir. Leave less than 1 inch (3cm) of head space in the neck of the bottle. Close tightly.
  • Ferment 4 to 14 days, burping occasionally (over the sink) to release gas buildup.
  • When you like the flavor and carbonation, move bottle to refrigerator.
  • Before serving, gently rock (DO NOT SHAKE) the bottle by inverting it a few times. This will allow any sediment to be better incorporated into the beverage when you pour it.
  • Serve chilled.
  • Cannabis ingested via food can take a long time to metabolize, sometimes up to 2 hours. Enjoy responsibly and plan accordingly.
