Ingredients

  • 1 large pear or 2 small pears  (Conference work well, wash but don’t peel)
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 1 cardamom pod
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • 400 ml unflavoured kombucha

Method

  • Juice the pear in the cold-press juicer. It should yield around 100–150ml of juice. Pour into a bottle with the lime juice.
  • Open the cardamom pod, pick out the seeds and add these to the juice. Add the salt and top up with the unflavoured kombucha leaving a 1cm air space at the top then seal tightly. Put the sealed bottle straight into the fridge and allow the cardamom seeds to infuse for 24 hours. Reawaken the juice the following day by giving the bottle a gentle shake, pour and enjoy.

Notes

This flavoured kombucha is best drunk within two days of bottling because the sweet pear will accelerate carbonation.
