I have used kombucha in a cranberry recipe a few years ago, but I haven’t used it since. My bad. I was speaking to Mad Magic Kombucha, and I decided to try it with a fish and chips recipe. Not everything is a good idea, but this one works. The lemon thyme funky flavor brings a sour punch to the classic dish. Now, I also air fried it for a lighter taste. I didn’t want to hide the kombucha. I also replaced the lemon juice in the tartar sauce to reinforce the kombucha. I hope you like it.
