Passion Fruit Ginger Kombucha Packed With Probiotic Power To Strengthen Your Day

Passion fruit kombucha with just a hint of ginger and honey is an exotic, satisfying drink that is good for your health.  Kombucha and I became good buddies about two years ago, when I first started brewing this magic elixir that fed my soul and body in one single shot, filling up my senses and permeating my whole being! Now, when I am stressed about stuff, hubby and kids get on my nerves (happens to every woman am sure) or just need an extra boost of energy and strength, I chug down a glass of booch and get an almost instant boost of serotonin to the brain that makes me feel balanced and peaceful. Not to mention it is packed with probiotics that feed your gut and give you a happy tummy! It’s a sweet soft hearted drink  with a whole lot of magic fizz! I have dabbled in many flavors of booch and to date this is my favorite. It takes me back to my childhood days; days spent roaming the huge orchard in my brother in law’s parent’s home in Yelagiri, South India. Among the many fruit trees there was this one small but very fruitful passion fruit tree. We knocked the fruit off the trees and gathered the ones that fell on the ground which were always the sweetest ones. Like they say fallen and bruised fruit is always the sweetest. We would cut open the fruit and remove the gel mass inside which was mixed with black seeds. Put this gel mass into a tea strainer, pour some cool water from an earthern mud pitcher and and squeeze as much as we could out of the pulp. I am pretty sure there were modern ways of making passion fruit juice like using a blender, but this was how we made it and the resulting liquid with strands of passion fruit in it always tasted delicious. We sometimes added raw local honey to it and a dash of grated ginger, and it was pure heaven.

Now I have a more scientific method of making passion fruit juice. I buy frozen passion fruit pulp from ethnic stores. I take one cup of frozen pulp, add about 4 to 5 cups of booch, a shot of fresh ginger juice, a tbsp of raw honey and blitz the entire juice in a blender. Then I bottle it as the second ferment. This gives me about 3 bottles (6 glasses) of passion fruit honey flavored booch. Keep in mind that the honey will get eaten up by the booch if left outside for a few days and turn into a low sugared fizzy probiotic rich beverage that is good for your gut! This is my favorite flavor and I am happy to share this with you. If you do visit me, be prepared to get served ice cold glasses of refreshing passion fruit ginger honey home brewed kombucha coz I have a little stash of bottles stored up :)!
