Vanilla
SpicesPopular FlavorsVanilla rounds out the sharp edges of kombucha with a smooth, creamy sweetness that is universally appealing. It softens the tang and makes kombucha taste more approachable, especially for newcomers. Vanilla works as both a solo flavor and a background note that enhances other ingredients.
Brewing Tip
Split a vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds — add both seeds and pod to your bottle. Pure vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon per bottle) works as a more affordable alternative. Avoid imitation vanilla.
