hi :)

has anyone ever experimented with coconut and kombucha?

i was making some granola with shredded coconut and became inspired by all of the natural coconut oil left behind. i don't know if the oil would have any adverse reaction to the fermentation process once i've bottle it, but am curious about the flavor combo...any thoughts or knowledge?

cheers!

    I would say try using coconut water or coconut milk. Might be interesting. You should be able to find both in the regular store. If not a more "ethnic" store would be helpful.

      you get lots of oil, no matter what. it would be better to get it to bottling fizzy, then add some to each bottle, rather than the mother canister/vat.

        right right. i wouldn't want to add any flavoring to the mother.
        coconut would be added after a day or so in the bottle. coconut water might be a nice addition, maybe frozen and sued as ice cubes.



        thanks gentlemen!

        Coconut water has very little, if any, oil in it and is sold like a softdrink. But niki, you're right. I wouldn't add it until after the ferment is done.

          depends of the company and country of origin. there are all sorts of things calling themselves coconut water today. But i guess i stand corrected.
