Kombucha

Ingredients

• 1 Scoby (in at least ¼ – ½ cup of starter kombucha)
• 4 Liters water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 – 4 Black, Green or White tea bags

Instructions

• Boil water & sugar to dissolve sugar.
• Add tea bags.
• Allow water to cool while teabags steep.
• When the tea is room temperature add to scoby and starter kombucha.
• Cover with J-cloth or cotton tea towel and an elastic band (to keep flies and bugs out but allow to breathe).
• Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 days – the longer it sits the less sweet it becomes.
  • It should have a slightly vinegary smell, and you should see bubbles near the top.
  • A new scoby should form at the top of the liquid each time you ferment.
• When done, transfer to bottles with lock top and refrigerate.
