Organic Kombucha Scoby With Starter Tea

Check out this amazing culture that will kickstart your fermentation process and transform your kitchen into a vibrant brewing space.

Ingredients:

1 cup of organic cane sugar
8 bags of black or green tea
1 scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast)
2 cups of starter tea (from a previous batch of kombucha or store-bought kombucha)
Water (enough to make 3.5 liters of tea)
A clean large glass jar (at least 4 liters)
A cloth or coffee filter to cover the jar
Rubber band or string to secure the cover

Instructions:

First, get started by boiling approximately 1 quart (4 cups) of water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Next, add the tea bags and steep for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the sweetened tea into a clean glass jar, filling it about halfway. Then, add more water until the jar reaches about 3.5 liters (about 1 gallon) total.
Now, it’s time to add your 2 cups of starter tea to the jar. This will help kickstart the fermentation process with active cultures.
Gently place your scoby on top of the liquid. Don’t worry if it sinks; it will eventually rise to the surface.
Cover the mouth of the jar with a cloth or coffee filter and secure it with a rubber band. This allows for airflow while keeping dust and insects out.
Let the jar sit undisturbed in a warm, dark place (around 70-85°F) for 7 to 14 days. Taste it along the way to find your perfect level of fermentation!
Once it’s ready, carefully remove the scoby and reserve some of the tea for your next batch, then you can enjoy your homemade kombucha. Experiment with flavors by adding fruits, herbs, or spices to create your unique brew.

With this easy recipe, you will be joining the ranks of enthusiastic kombucha brewers everywhere. Enjoy the process and the delightful flavors of your own homemade kombucha!
