Basic SCOBY Hotel Food Recipe:
Per cup of water, add 1 tbsp. of plain white sugar and 1 tsp. loose leaf black tea/1 black tea bag. Make sure to strain tea out and let the liquid come to room temp before adding to SCOBY Hotel. You can scale this recipe up for however much liquid you want to add to your hotel.
* Yes, I realize I forgot to say add 1 tbsp sugar in the video. I'm really sorry! I'm human. The recipe is summarized above for easy finding, and I tried to add a text call-out in the video to flag it for you. If you're still upset with me after reading this, then I suggest doing some self-reflection and asking yourself what your anger is *really* about.
