1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
2
Add Sugar
Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
3
Brew Tea
Remove the pot from heat and add the 8 black tea bags. Allow to steep for 10-15 minutes.
4
Cool the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature.
5
Combine with SCOBY
In a large glass jar, pour the cooled tea and add 1 cup of starter tea. Carefully place the SCOBY on top.
6
Cover and Ferment
Cover the jar with a clean cloth and secure it with a rubber band. Let it sit in a warm, dark place for 7-14 days.

7
Prepare Ginger
While the kombucha ferments, peel and finely grate 4 tablespoons of fresh ginger root.
8
Combine with Honey
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger with 1 tablespoon of honey until well combined.

9
Remove SCOBY
After 7-14 days, taste the kombucha. Once it reaches your desired level of tartness, remove the SCOBY and set it aside.
10
Flavor the Kombucha
Add the ginger-honey mixture to the kombucha and stir gently to combine.
11
Bottle the Kombucha
Using a funnel, pour the flavored kombucha into clean bottles, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top.
12
Second Fermentation
Seal the bottles and let them sit at room temperature for 3-7 days for carbonation. Check daily to avoid over-carbonation.
13
Refrigerate
Once carbonated to your liking, refrigerate the bottles to halt fermentation. Serve chilled.
