Ingredients
For 1 liter of Kombucha infused with Shilajit:
- 1 liter of kombucha (ready-made or homemade)
- 100-200mg of Shilajit Purlema' resin (approximately the size of one to two grains of rice, start small and increase if desired)
- Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger, a few berries of your choice (raspberries, blueberries...)
Instructions
- Preparing Shilajit: Dissolve the shilajit resin in a small amount (approximately 50ml) of room-temperature kombucha. Stir gently until completely dissolved. This may take a few minutes. It is important that the resin is completely dissolved before proceeding to the next step.
- Infusion: Pour the dissolved shilajit mixture into the remaining kombucha (950ml).
- Adding flavors (optional): If you wish, add a few slices of fresh ginger and/or berries to further flavor your kombucha.
- Second Fermentation (optional): For a more fizzy kombucha, pour the mixture into an airtight glass bottle (like a kombucha bottle) and let it ferment at room temperature for 1 to 3 days. Monitor the pressure to avoid an explosion.
- Refrigeration: Once the desired fermentation has been reached, place the bottle in the refrigerator to stop the fermentation and cool the drink.
- Serving suggestion: Serve chilled and enjoy!
Chef's Tips
- The amount of shilajit can be adjusted according to your preferences. Start with a small dose and gradually increase it.
- Use a good quality kombucha, homemade or store-bought, for best results.
- For a more complex flavor, experiment with different combinations of fruits and spices.
- If using berries, lightly crush them before adding them to release their juice.
- The second fermentation is optional, but it results in a more sparkling and slightly more acidic kombucha.
- Do not consume more than one portion (250-300ml) per day, especially at the beginning, to assess your tolerance to shilajit.
Conservation
Shilajit-infused kombucha can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. The flavor may change slightly over time.
Shilajit is a powerful adaptogen, but it's important to consult a healthcare professional before consuming it, especially if you have any health conditions or are taking medication. To learn more about the benefits of shilajit, you can visit our information blog .
