Ingredients

Ingredients for Kombucha

  • 1 Scoby
  • 2 cups Water (For Tea)
  • 2 Black Tea Bags
  • 1 Peach Tea Bag
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 4-5 Strawberries
  • 5-6 cups Water (To fill Jar)

Tools you'll need for 1st fermentation

  • 1/2 gal. Glass Jar
  • 1 Coffee filter
  • 1 Rubber Band
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • 1 Glass measuring cup

Tools for 2nd fermentatioin

  • 1/2` gal. Glass Jar that seals good

Instructions

  • Boil 2 Cups of water and pour into your glass measuring cup. Add all 3 tea bags, and let steep for 10 minutes.
  • Put the 1/2 cup of sugar in your glass half gallon jar, and add the tea. (Remove tea bags first) Stir to dissolve the sugar. (Check Notes on why you shouldn't use metal)
  • Slowly add cool water while mixing continuously. Leave enough room for the Scoby.
  • Add the Scoby and top off with cool water.
  • Put the coffee filter on with the rubber band to hold it and let it sit for 10-14 days to ferment.
  • After its done the first fermentation, save out a cup of the kombucha and the scoby, and pour (straining) the rest into your other glass jar. Add the strawberries, seal, and let sit for 5-10 days. (Read Notes)
  • Strain into glass bottles and refrigerate!
  • Take the set aside scoby and kombucha and make another batch! I keep 2 batches going continuously so I have 1 in 1st fermentation, and 1 in 2nd fermentation. This way I don't have any waiting time in between batches.

Notes

*This is a recipe for half a gallon of Kombucha. So if you want to make more or less, just adjust the recipe accordingly!
*The amount of time you let it sit all depends on your personal taste. I let the 1st and 2nd fermentation sit for 2 weeks each because I like it to have more of a bite and not be super sweet.
*Never use metal!! I repeat NEVER use metal. It will kill your Kombucha or just make it mold. This is why you use a wooden spoon. I do use a metal strainer but the contact is brief enough that it doesn't hurt anything.
