I'm planning on bottling my kombucha for a secondary fermentation, and adding lemon juice and candied ginger. Do I need to steam sanitize the ginger and boil the lemon before adding it?

To follow up on this, do you use lemon peel (zest) or the juice from the lemon?
I also use ginger, but add sliced fresh ginger when I add the tea, and then remove it. Even without the added sugar candied ginger has, the added ginger seems to enhance the final carbonation once bottled.
