Coffee Spice Kombucha Float

kombuchafloat

A few weeks ago I had an unusual craving after work. I had seen an ice cream float earlier in the day, but wanted a healthier alternative to the typical version. With my recent love for Arctic Zero, I decided to check out the flavors they had available. I immediately zeroed in on coffee. Perfect!

Next I needed a kombucha that would pair well with coffee, instead of the typical fruit flavors. The High Country Wild Root sounded promising, so I crossed my fingers and bought them both.

As I prepared to assemble this easy treat after dinner that night, the hazelnut butter caught my eye and I added this optional (but amazing) flavor to the bottom of my mug. The result is a more sophisticated mix of flavors than your typical float, but just as fun!!
