Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted and sliced plums (about 1½ large plum, or 5-6 small)
• 1 cup sliced figs (about 5-6 figs)
• 3 star anise pods
• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 tbsp raw, unpasteurized honey (or maple syrup if vegan)
• 4 oz. gin (or vodka) - optional
• 2 cups unflavoured kombucha
• Ice cubes
• A few slices of plums and/or figs & one star anise

Directions

• Place sliced plums and figs in a small saucepan. Add ginger and star anise pods and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until fruits are completely soft. Remove from heat and let cool completely (you can place it in the fridge to speed up this process).
• Remove anise pods from the cooled fruit mixture, then transfer to a blender. Add honey and puree until smooth. Place a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl and strain puree through the sieve, pressing with a spoon to extract as much puree as possible.
• Fill four 8 ounce glasses with ice cubes. Add 3 tablespoons of puree to each glass. Top with ½ cup kombucha and stir well. Garnish with a few slices of plums and/or figs and a star anise. Serve immediately.
