Spicy Kombucha Marinade
This spicy marinade is delicious on fish, chicken, beef, or veggies. It is also a wonderful way to use kombucha that has become too sour to drink. The extra-tart kombucha works much like vinegar, adding acidity and flavor while helping tenderize the food. This recipe makes about 2 cups of marinade.
