Ingredients
For 1 liter of Shilajit-infused Kombucha:
- 1 liter of kombucha (homemade or store-bought)
- 150-200mg of shilajit resin (high quality, purified)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional, to sweeten)
- A few slices of lemon or ginger (optional, for flavouring)
Instructions
- Preparing Shilajit: In a small cup, dissolve the shilajit resin in a tablespoon of warm water. Stir gently until completely dissolved. Make sure no residue remains.
- Mixing: Pour the kombucha into a carafe or glass bottle.
- Incorporating Shilajit: Add the dissolved shilajit solution to the kombucha.
- Sweetening (optional): If you wish to sweeten your kombucha, stir in a tablespoon of honey. Stir gently until dissolved.
- Flavoring (optional): Add a few slices of lemon or ginger to flavor your kombucha.
- Cooling: Refrigerate the shilajit-infused kombucha for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill.
- Serving suggestion: Serve chilled and enjoy!
Chef's Tips
- Use a good quality kombucha, with an acidity that you appreciate.
- The amount of shilajit can be adjusted according to your taste and tolerance. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it.
- For a more intense flavor, let the shilajit infuse in the kombucha for several hours in the refrigerator.
- You can also add other fruits or aromatic herbs to personalize your kombucha (raspberries, mint, etc.).
- Never use powdered shilajit in your kombucha. Only the resin is recommended.
Conservation
Shilajit-infused kombucha will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. The drink may become more fizzy over time. Be sure to close the bottle tightly after each use.
