Brewing Your Own Kombucha

Brewing your own kombucha tea is a fun and fascinating process – and it’s a lot easier than it sounds! This is a tried and true method for brewing your own batch at home.

Ingredients:

3 ½ quarts (14 cups) filtered water (NOT tap water – the chlorine will hurt the bacteria and yeast)

1 cup sugar

5 tea bags (black, oolong, white, or green)

1 SCOBY

½ cup kombucha tea

Directions:

Clean your hands and equipment thoroughly.

In a large pot, boil the water, then remove from heat. Add the sugar and tea bags, letting steep for 15 minutes. Discard the bags. Allow to cool (this can be left overnight).

Pour the tea mixture into a clean glass jar (or multiple jars, if you have more than one SCOBY), and gently place the SCOBY inside. Add the previously brewed kombucha tea. Fasten a cloth over top. The cloth will allow the mixture to get air and keep out bugs eager to eat your tasty tea.

Store in a dark, reasonably warm place for a week, until a new SCOBY begins to form on the old one, the flavor has enough tang, and the PH balance reads below 4.0.

Kombucha tea can be stored in glass jars, preferably with a lid that will help preserve the natural carbonation. It is very important to keep your kombucha in glass, as metal and ceramic containers can contaminate the drink.
