Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
- 2 cups (16 fl oz) raw kombucha, chilled
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches by scoring a small ‘X’ on the bottom and blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Peel off skins and chop into chunks.
- Peel a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger and grate finely using a microplane or fine grater.
- Add chopped peaches to a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pulse if you prefer a pulpy texture.
- Optional: Strain the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a smoother elixir.
- In a large pitcher, combine the peach puree or juice, grated ginger, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well and add honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Pour in 2 cups of chilled kombucha and stir gently to combine, avoiding vigorous stirring to keep the fizz.
- Serve over ice cubes, garnished with a thin peach slice or a small piece of fresh ginger. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Do not puree the ginger to preserve texture and flavor. Use fresh ginger for best taste. Avoid vigorous stirring after adding kombucha to maintain fizz. The elixir is best fresh but can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours with gentle stirring before serving. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable.
