Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Tea Base

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the sugar and black tea bags. Let steep for 10-15 minutes.

2. Cool and Strain

Remove the tea bags and allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature.

3. Add Hops and Honey

Once the tea has cooled, stir in 2 tablespoons of Citra hops and 1 cup of raw local honey until fully dissolved.

4. Combine with SCOBY

In a large glass jar, pour the sweetened tea mixture. Add the SCOBY gently to the jar.

5. Ferment

Cover the jar with a clean cloth or coffee filter secured with a rubber band. Let it ferment in a warm, dark place for 7-14 days, depending on your taste preference.

6. Add Citrus Flavor

After the initial fermentation, add 1 cup of sliced grapefruit or other citrus fruits to the kombucha.

7. Second Fermentation

Seal the jar tightly and let it ferment for another 3-5 days to infuse the citrus flavors.

8. Bottling

Once the second fermentation is complete, strain the kombucha into bottles, leaving some room at the top. Seal with caps.

9. Refrigerate

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to chill and carbonate.
