How to Make Kombucha Tes Part I: youtube.com/watch?v=qsOhW8R7_mk
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup loose black tea (orange pekoe, oolong or early grey)
3/4 cup sugar
hot water
DIRECTIONS:
Steep tea in near boiling water (160-180 degrees) for 5-6 minutes. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add enough cold water to equal 1 gallon. When 90 degrees or cooler add in 1 cup of previously fermented kombucha tea and your SCOBY. Cover with cheesecloth and allow to ferment for 1 to 3 weeks. If you’re tea is just getting started you might need to brew it longer, up to 4 weeks. Taste after 5 days, the tea ferments faster in warm weather.
When ready for your 2f (second ferment) reserve at least 1 cup and up to 4 cups (1L) of the tea in a hotel with your SCOBY. This is for your next batch.
Pour your fermented tea into a jar matching the volume of the tea. Add fruit, spices and or flowers to flavor and seal your jar tightly. Allow this to ferment for 3 or 4 days. Strain and bottle into jars with a tight fitting lid. Fill to the top to ensure carbonation. Refrigerate and enjoy. Your kombucha will continue to carbonate once bottled, so open carefully.
