What to ExpectWhile sitting in the dark, you will not see that the kombucha will eat the sugar in the pineapple and that's when the flavors become infused. You can begin to sample your pineapple kombucha after the second day to see if it is ready. You will taste a sweet taste with a little fizz to it. If it tastes right to you, then it's done. If it has a tangy taste, the process may not be quite done. Once it reaches the balanced taste, place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to enjoy! |
