We love lemonade in this house, especially my hubby. Growing up in the south lemonade is a staple at all events and in almost every house. When I was younger I loved starting lemonade stands, we lived in a neighborhood so our wonderful neighbors would always stop by and pay $0.25 for a dixie cup of lemonade.
This love of lemonade led me to want to combine this southern classic with my current nourishing summer beverage, kombucha. This recipe is super simple and basically adds a burst of lemon to my strawberry kombucha recipe. It is perfect for summer and I am definitely looking forward to having a nice tall glass this weekend for the fourth of July!
Ingredients:
2 qts of water
1 cup of sugar
8 green tea bags
½ cup of chopped strawberries
1 lemon sliced
Directions:
Follow the basic instructions for brewing kombucha found here. When it comes time to flavor and have you second ferment add in your strawberries and lemons and let sit in a closed mason jar of airlock bottle for 2 to 3 days. Then cool and enjoy!

I thought sugar was off-limits for the AIP.
The sugar in kombucha is used to feed the good bacteria during the fermentation process. By the end of the process there is a negligible amount of sugar left which is why it is allowed on AIP. The same is true for the sugar in bacon which is used to cure the meat.
