Feeling celebratory and looking for ways to boost your dishes? Try some of our innovative kombucha recipes to kick up the flavour of your dish! Today we introduce Kombucha Hot Sauce. This play on traditional Sriracha recipe that has been quite popular here at WTK headquarters! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Kombucha Hot Sauce:

Hot sauce complements all types of foods, breakfast eggs, flavoring your home made sauces, whisk into vinaigrette for a salad, add a bit of spiciness to your burger, add to your cocktail sauce, dollop on raw oysters, steaks or chicken, combine a few drops with simple syrup & toss with a fruit salad, spice up your tacos.

How to make your own probiotic hot sauce:

  • 1 pound red jalapeno peppers, stems cut off

  • ½ pound red serrano peppers, stems cut off- OR whatever peppers you have/that are on sale!

  • 1 c of Hard Lime Kombucha

  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Directions:

Step 1

Place jalapeño and serrano peppers into a blender with water, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse several times, them blend until smooth.

Step 2

Transfer puree into a large glass jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring and scraping down the sides once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until the mixture is bubbly.

Step 3

Pour fermented mixture back into the blender; add vinegar and blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in the strainer.

Step 4

Transfer sauce into a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Let sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
