Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast)
- 4 bags of black or green tea
- 1 cup of sugar (for fermentation)
- 3.5 quarts of filtered water
- 2 cups of starter tea from previous batch or store-bought (unpasteurized, neutral-flavored) kombucha
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the sugar to dissolve. Drop in the tea and allow it to steep until the water has cooled.
- Once the tea is cool, remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea. Stir in the starter tea.
- Transfer the mixture into the jar, then with clean hands, gently slide the SCOBY into the jar.
- Cover the jar with a few layers of the tight-weave towel and secure it with a rubber band.
- Allow the kombucha to ferment for 7 to 10 days.
- After 7 days, begin tasting the kombucha. When it reaches a balance of sweetness and tartness that is pleasant to you, the kombucha is ready to bottle.
- With clean hands, gently lift the SCOBY out of the kombucha and set it on a clean plate.
- Bottle the kombucha, being sure to leave about a half inch of head room in each bottle.
- Optionally, you may flavor the kombucha with juice or fruit.
- Allow the kombucha to carbonate in the bottles at room temperature for 1 to 3 days.
- Refrigerate to stop fermentation and carbonation, and then consume your kombucha within a month.
