What Is Kombucha?
What Is a SCOBY?
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in sugar, then add tea bags.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, 2 to 3 hours.
Remove the tea bags, then pour the tea into a 1-gallon glass jar.
Gently pour SCOBY and starter kombucha into the jar.
Cover the jar with a paper towel or clean tea towel and affix it with a rubber band.
Avoid cool locations, which can lead to mold.
After 8 days, taste the kombucha for doneness.
If it tastes sweeter than you prefer, allow the kombucha to ferment for another day or two.
If necessary, continue tasting for up to 14 days until the desired flavor is reached.
Using a funnel, pour the kombucha into sealable glass bottles.
Starter kombucha is simply kombucha from a previous batch.
If this is your first time making kombucha, starter kombucha will be included with your purchased SCOBY.
