If you’re like most people, you probably have a few kombucha bottles lying around your house. But before long, they’ll start to accumulate mold and bacteria. Here’s how to clean them properly:

  1. Fill a large pot with water and place it on the stovetop. Turn the heat up to medium-high and wait until the water is hot but not boiling.
  2. Carefully pour the kombucha bottles into the pot, making sure they’re submerged by at least an inch of water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, or until the water has cooled down significantly.
  3. Carefully remove the bottles from the pot using a slotted spoon or tongs, making sure to discard any excess water or moldy material. Place them on a clean surface to dry out completely.
  4. Once they’re dry, store them in a cool, dark place where they can stay fresh for up to two months ..
