Cinnamon
SpicesPopular FlavorsCinnamon brings warm, cozy sweetness to kombucha without adding extra sugar. It is particularly popular in autumn and winter brews, creating an apple-pie-in-a-glass effect when paired with apple. Ceylon cinnamon has a more delicate flavor than cassia, but both work well in kombucha.
Brewing Tip
Use a small piece of cinnamon stick (about 1 inch) rather than ground cinnamon, which can make the brew gritty. Cinnamon flavor intensifies over time, so taste daily. A little goes a long way.
