    if you buy a bottle of kombucha from the store you can just pour a quarter of the bottle in to your cooled sweet tea and after a week or so a scoby will develop and you will have kombucha.

    when adding a scoby to a new batch of brewed tea you must add a portion of starter liquid (already brewed kombucha) in with the scoby so that it ups the acidity levels which helps fight off unwanted bacteria. Always make sure your utensils and hands are sterilized when reaching into your brew. Bacteria on your hands can seriously mess things up which is why I recommend trying not to handle the scoby too much. Scoby's like to be undisturbed, and in a dark, warm place. If you live in colder climates you will have to use some sort of heater or nothing will happen as the scoby will go dormant.

    Instead of just putting the scoby in your room temperature sweet tea, add also a cup of the kombucha from the previous batch. It'll kick start the fermentation and keep the scoby strong and healthy.

  • @luke_almquist
    @luke_almquist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +83

    I know this video is old BUT, there a few things in here that are miss leading.
    You can use green tea for kombucha, or a blend of green and black. But don’t use flavored or altered teas. And you MUST add already brewed kombucha (starter) to your tea. The “SCOBY” she is referring to is more of a bi product of the actually SCOBY and most of the bacteria and yeast are in the liquid not the SCOBY mat that is produced. You can technically brew with just starter and sweet tea, no SCOBY mat since the life force is in the liquid.
    Hope this helps you on your kombucha journey!

      It usually looks nicer than that. Hers looks really like gunk. The one I make at home is a nice piece that looks like a silicon sheet.
      I usually continue to brew the next batch in the current bottle so I don’t move the scoby with bare hands. I think they move it around too much and introduce lots of bacteria from the hand. Also it’s best to throw away scoby after 4 fermentation. Hers look really like snot.

    After a week of fermenting, I personally use 1lt glass bottles. I pour in 800ml of the Kombucha along with 200ml of Apple/Blackcurrent juice (with no preservatives) to give it more flavour. I leave those bottles in a dark, warm place for another week before storing them in the fridge.
    So I recommend adding juice to your own Kombucha. If you do, it was to contain no preservatives or anything artificial.

      +Chase Brown I'm not sure if you saw some of the other comments but another way to acquire a scoby is to do the sweetened tea and add a bottle of kombucha that you bought somewhere. Or if you have enough patience you can simply ferment the sweetened tea and it will eventually start growing a scoby, as long as you're careful with it.

      Go to a health store and buy a bottle of unflavored kombucha look for one with weird bits on the bottom or even a thin layer on the top. Add that to sweet tea (black and never use earl grey) wait a week to a month (depending on how warm it is) you'll either have a scoby or mold

    Interesting. I start out the same, measuring out 4 cups of water, bringing it to a boil, adding and dissolving the 1 cup sugar, steeping 8 bags of tea. Then - we differ. I pour my strained tea into a 1 gallon glass jar, add cold, filtered water to about 3/4 full, then I plop in the baby scoby that grew on top of the mother scoby, add in 1 cup of plain, fermented tea from either my Scoby Hotel, or from the batch I previously brewed. Cover and let ferment for about 12 to 15 days. Then I bottle it with 2 Tbsp Mango Juice (I like the Naked brand here in the U.S.). And it ferments on a heating mat for about 8 more days before going into the fridge. Delicious! Have not had a cold since I started drinking it.
