Organic sourcing

Mint and lemon are worth buying organic due to high pesticide residues found in non-organic options.

Ingredients

• 1 liter unflavored kombucha
• 20 fresh mint leaves
• 1 organic lemon
• 1 tbsp organic honey
• 1 cup ice cubes

Method

1. Wash the mint leaves thoroughly and set them aside.
2. Slice the lemon into thin rounds, removing any seeds.
3. In a large pitcher, combine the kombucha, mint leaves, and lemon slices.
4. Add the honey to the pitcher and stir gently until dissolved.
5. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
6. Before serving, add the ice cubes to the pitcher and stir gently.
7. Pour the iced kombucha into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

• Substitute agave syrup for honey for a fully vegan option.
• Add a splash of lime juice for a tangier taste.
• Best served chilled on a warm day.
