Kombucha Brewing Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sweet Tea

   Boil 4 cups of water in a pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for about 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar until fully dissolved.

2. 2

   Cool the Mixture

   Allow the sweet tea to cool to room temperature. This is important to avoid killing the SCOBY.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large glass jar, pour the cooled sweet tea, 1 cup of starter tea, and gently place the SCOBY on top.

4. 4

   Fermentation

   Cover the jar with a clean cloth or coffee filter and secure it with a rubber band. Let it sit in a warm, dark place for 7-14 days. Taste periodically until it reaches your desired level of fermentation.

5. 5

   Flavoring (Optional)

   If you want to flavor your kombucha, you can add ginger, fruit, or herbs after the initial fermentation. Pour the kombucha into bottles, leaving some space at the top, and add your flavoring.

6. 6

   Second Fermentation

   Seal the bottles and let them sit at room temperature for an additional 3-7 days for carbonation, then refrigerate.

7. 7

   Enjoy Your Kombucha

   Once chilled, your kombucha is ready to drink! Serve it in a glass and enjoy.
