Kombucha Revolution

Stephen Lee’s guide to kombucha, co-written with Ken Koopman, takes a recipe-first approach. With 75 recipes for homemade brews, cocktails, smoothies, sauces, snacks, and desserts, this book is built for people who want to explore the creative possibilities of kombucha.

Why Start Here

Lee’s background as co-founder of Tazo Tea and Stash Tea gives him a professional understanding of flavor that most homebrew authors lack. The recipes in Kombucha Revolution are inventive and well-tested, with contributions from guest brewers, bartenders, and chefs. The book covers the basics of brewing and SCOBY care, but its real strength is showing you what to do with your kombucha once you have it.

The book is particularly good at introducing kombucha as a cooking ingredient, not just a drink. Recipes for sauces, glazes, and even desserts expand your sense of what fermented tea can do.
