How To Grow A Kombucha Scoby
Ingredients
- 1 Gallon-sized Glass Jar
- 3 Quarts of Spring Water
- 1 Cup of Organic Raw Sugar
- 4 Bags of Black Tea
- 1 Cup of Unflavored Kombucha Tea
- Clean White Flour Sack Cloth
- Rubber Band or Twine
Instructions
Sterilize your jar and spoon with boiling water.
Put 1 1/2 quarts of water in your gallon size glass jar and the other 1 1/2 quarts in your pan.
Heat and add your sugar and stir until dissolved. Add your tea bags and let steep for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes have passed remove the tea bags from the packaging and add tea to your water in the glass jar. The tea in the jar should be about 96 degrees so if it is too cool warm it up in the pan again or if it is too hot, let it cool a bit.
To this add your starter kombucha and stir gently. Cover with your flour sack and secure with rubber band or twine to keep bugs and things out of it. Place your jar out of direct sunlight where it will be untouched from 5-8 days.
When the time has passed remove the kombucha scoby and 1 cup of the tea for your starter and put in your new batch of kombucha or a zip lock bag.
