How to Make Kombucha

Have you been hearing the buzz word, Kombucha, EVERYWHERE lately?! It’s high time that I teach you how to make kombucha at home.

Let’s get started!

"I can’t wait to begin making this. - Kathy

01

Add the tea bags and sugar to a 4-cup container and add 3 cups boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags. Let mixture cool.

02

IF this is your very time making kombucha you will need to buy a SCOBY and starter liquid or get one from a friend.  Place the starter liquid in a ½ gallon jar.

03

When the tea cools, add it to the starter kombucha in the ½ gallon jar and then fill the jar with more water until it is 1 inch or so from the top.

04

Gently place the SCOBY in the jar and secure a breathable cover over the top. Let ferment 3-7 days at room temperature.

05

A half gallon of first fermented kombucha will fill three 16-ounce brewing bottles, fill to just where the neck starts to curve.
