List of Ingredients

• 8 cups of filtered water
• 6 bags of black tea
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 1 cup of ginger juice
• 1 SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast)
• 1 cup of kombucha from a previous batch (as a starter liquid)

List of Instructions

1. Boil the water and add the tea bags. Steep for 10-15 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
2. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
3. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
4. Add the ginger juice and stir well.
5. Transfer the tea to a large glass jar.
6. Add the SCOBY and starter liquid to the jar.
7. Cover the jar with a cloth and secure it with a rubber band. This allows air to flow in and out but keeps out any contaminants.
8. Store the jar in a warm, dark place for 7-10 days. Taste test the kombucha after 7 days to see if it has reached your desired level of sweetness and tartness.
9. Once the kombucha has fermented to your liking, remove the SCOBY and starter liquid and transfer the kombucha to a bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator until ready to drink.

Recipes FAQ
