Ingredients & Substitutions
Using raw sugar is my go-to for this drink because it helps kickstart fermentation. If you prefer, you can use coconut sugar or maple syrup, but it may affect the taste slightly. And for the probiotic culture, make sure it's a good quality one, as that’s the magic ingredient for gut health!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar - they stay fresh for days, and I love seeing the bubbles form!
- •Feel free to adjust the sugar based on your taste preference; just remember that it’s crucial for fermentation.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add a handful of berries before fermentation for a fruity flavor and beautiful color.
- •You could also experiment with herbs like basil or lemon balm for a unique twist.
Storage & Freezing
Store your probiotic drink in the fridge for up to a week. Just give it a gentle shake before pouring, as the fizz may settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drink is ready?
It should smell tangy and have some bubbles. If it smells off or looks weird, it’s best to toss it.
Can I skip the ginger?
Absolutely! You can experiment with other flavors like turmeric or even berries for a fruity twist.

Cover the jar with a breathable cloth or coffee filter secured with a rubber band. This allows it to ferment while keeping out dust.

Leave the jar in a warm, dark place (around 70-75°F) for 24-48 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s bubbly and has a tangy smell.
