Hibiscus second fermentation kombucha is brewed kombucha flavored and carbonated by adding hibiscus during a second, usually bottled, fermentation. The hibiscus adds a tart, floral taste; the drink’s caffeine and alcohol content depend on how the first and second fermentations were made.
Make hibiscus second fermentation kombucha by adding hibiscus tea or petals to finished kombucha, then bottling it to ferment again. Use clean, pressure-safe bottles and monitor carbonation, since fermentation in a sealed bottle builds pressure.
Usually, yes. Kombucha is commonly brewed with caffeinated black or green tea, and adding hibiscus in the second fermentation does not reliably remove that caffeine. Hibiscus itself is caffeine-free, but the base kombucha determines the drink’s caffeine.
It can contain a small amount of alcohol because yeast produces alcohol during fermentation. The amount varies with the brew and can increase during the second fermentation, so homemade hibiscus second fermentation kombucha should not be assumed alcohol-free.
Hibiscus adds a tart, floral flavor and can provide fermentable sugars that help produce carbonation. Since the drink ferments in a sealed bottle, pressure can build quickly; refrigerate it once it reaches the desired fizz.
It can be a refreshing fermented drink, and unpasteurized versions may contain live microorganisms. However, evidence does not show that hibiscus second fermentation kombucha prevents or treats disease, and pasteurization may remove live cultures.
Some sugar usually remains in hibiscus second fermentation kombucha. Yeast consumes part of the sugar during fermentation, but the amount left varies with the recipe, fermentation time, and any sweetener added with the hibiscus.
Use bottles designed to withstand carbonation, avoid leaving them warm for too long, and refrigerate them when they reach the fizz you want. Open hibiscus second fermentation kombucha slowly and pointed away from your face, because built-up pressure can eject liquid or break a bottle.
Refrigeration slows fermentation but does not give homemade hibiscus second fermentation kombucha a guaranteed shelf life. Keep it cold in a clean, sealed bottle, and discard it if you see mold or notice an unpleasant, unusual smell.
It is safer to avoid homemade or unpasteurized hibiscus second fermentation kombucha during pregnancy because its alcohol content and microbial safety can vary. Ask your healthcare professional before drinking fermented kombucha while pregnant.

Hibiscus second fermentation kombucha is brewed kombucha—sweetened tea fermented with a culture of bacteria and yeast—that is fermented again with hibiscus, often in a sealed bottle. Kombucha is traditionally associated with East Asia, while the hibiscus gives this version a floral, tangy character. Recipes vary, and some add extra sugar to encourage fizz.
It is usually served chilled, either on its own or alongside a meal; its tartness can be a refreshing match for spicy or rich food. It is a low-calorie, virtually fat-free fermented drink. Unpasteurised versions may retain live cultures, though this depends on how the drink is made and stored. If you prefer a less sweet drink, compare labels, as sugar levels vary.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
