For a totally caffeine-free kombucha brew, use ½ chamomile, ½ rooibos tea.\n\nSecondary Fermentation: You can also use chamomile to flavor a secondary fermentation instead of using it in the primary. Simply make a chamomile tea concentrate, let cool fully and add to the bottles with finished kombucha. You can add lavender, hibiscus or rose hips to make a fabulous floral kombucha flavor.
