How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious mangoes
- Delicious mangoes will have smooth, shiny skin, sometimes with tiny black spots and a light, pleasant aroma.
- Choose mangoes that feel firm in hand; when pressed, the flesh should feel taut.
- Avoid buying mangoes that are bruised, overly soft, or have large dark spots on the skin, as these are low-quality mangoes.
How to choose delicious strawberries
- Delicious strawberries will have a bright red color, plumpness, and a light, pleasant fragrance.
- Choose strawberries with fresh green leaves that are firmly attached to the stem.
- Avoid buying strawberries with unusual black spots, mottled colors, or bruised stems, as these are not fresh strawberries.
How to choose delicious peaches
- Fresh peaches will have sparse fuzz on the surface, with a dark red skin interspersed with yellow streaks.
- Choose peaches with a natural fragrance; they should feel firm when held and should have a slight resistance when pressed.
- Avoid buying peaches that are bruised, have an unusual smell, or wrinkled skin, as these are old, not fresh, and of low quality.

Prepare the Fruits
For the mango, use a knife to chop it into small pieces, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and place it into a glass jar. Next, slice one lemon and add it to the jar with the mango.
Then, chop the peaches into bite-sized pieces, remove the pits, and place them in another jar.
Next, remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the new jar.
Finally, use a spoon to crush the blueberries slightly to release some juice and add them to the jar with the strawberries.

Ferment the Kombucha with the Fruits
Pour the kombucha tea into the jars containing the fruits until they are full, then seal the jars tightly and let them ferment with the fruits. After that, let the tea ferment at room temperature in a cool place for at least 2 days.
Tip: If you want the tea to have some fizz and be more refreshing when drinking, let it ferment for an additional 3 to 5 days! But also avoid fermenting for too long to prevent the fruits from fermenting and developing a smell like alcohol!
