KOMBUCHA
4 cups water (to boil) + approx. 8 cups of cool/cold water
2-3 tbsp. loose-leaf black tea, I like English Breakfast
If you like a stronger tea flavor or are using a milder tea, feel free to use more!
¾ cup cane sugar, I use organic
1 SCOBY (find out what a SCOBY is here. You can also find out how to get a good quality SCOBY here. Alternatively, you can learn how to grow a SCOBY here.)
2 cups kombucha starter tea
Starter tea = unflavored kombucha tea that’s successfully gone through a 1st fermentation cycle. If you buy a SCOBY, it’ll usually come with some starter tea.
If you don’t have enough starter tea to make 2 cups:
You can cut this recipe in half (or even quarters!)
Alternatively, you can purchase unflavored, raw store-bought kombucha to make up the difference.
NEVER use vinegar in place of starter tea.
