Libra Balance Kombucha

Libra Season is September 23 – October 23. As Libra ushers in the autumnal equinox, we recognize this powerful Air sign with a special harvest recipe. Enjoy Libra Balance Kombucha and the seasonal celebration in every sip!

Ancient Romans favored the Libra sign, which symbolizes a balance and harmony of seasons – equal day and night hours. Enjoy this recipe with freshly harvested apples from any local orchard. A squirt of local honey sweetens up the spice of cinnamon and the earthiness of sage.

Apple – fresh, sliced (1 tbsp.)
Mint – Fresh (1 sprig)
Honey – fresh, local (1 squirt)
Dash of cinnamon
Honey – local honey (1 squirt)
Sage – 1 leaf dried or fresh, crushed between your fingers

Handwritten recipe is featured on an open notebook. Rested on the notebook pages is a jar of Wisconsin maple syrup, fresh sage leaves, and fresh, red cherries, and a cinnabar gem.

Leo’s Creation Kombucha

Leo Season is July 22 – August 23, and this is a warm fire sign. Ruled by the Sun, Leos like to create and let themselves shine. I’ve honored this essence in Leo’s Creation Kombucha recipe, a warm, decadent, and naturally sweet kombucha. The energy of the sign-inspired drink may amplify your creative tendencies and cravings for romance and luxury.

Indulged with ripe cherries, this kombucha lets Leo lions be the savory center of attention. I recommend fresh cherries, which can be found in Wisconsin around Leo season. Plucked right from your garden, fresh sage gives a different type of earthy touch. An optional touch of local Wisconsin maple syrup evens it all out.

Cherry – fresh, or frozen and thawed (1 – 1 ½ tablespoons)
Sage – 3 leaves dried or fresh, crushed between your fingers
Maple Syrup (1 squirt)

A fresh pineapple lays over a handwritten recipe. Dried sage, lemon juice, and a polished citrine quartz are featured.

Aries Golden Fleece Kombucha

Aries Season is March 21-April 19. A sign ruled by Fire, we recall in Greek mythology, Aries was the winged ram with golden wool who rescued two children from death. Aries’ wool becomes the sacrificial “Golden Fleece.”

Aries Golden Fleece Kombucha is a tasty combination led by pineapple, and brewers can use pineapple juice, fresh pineapple, frozen and thawed pineapple, or even dehydrated pineapple.

The Golden Fleece is a symbol of strength, courage, and victory. It is also a symbol of the power of love. With this recipe, I give a wink to my soulmate Eric, the brave Aries in my life!

Pineapple – Fresh, frozen, dehydrated, or juice (2 tbsp)
Sage – 3 leaves dried or fresh, crushed between your fingers
Lemon juice – One squirt (about ½ tsp)

Use up Leftovers AND REDUCE WASTE

Freeze unused fruit parts for frugal and fast flavoring!

For example, in this recipe, the pineapple core you’d normally throw out or compost can be cut up into matchsticks and frozen in a freezer-safe container.

Check out my illustration below:

Running short on time when your brewing cycle is up? Just pop some of these frozen, thawed pineapple core matchsticks in your booch bottle instead of fresh pineapple. They provide the same added flavor to your kombucha flavor process and save you time and money!
