kombucha - taking the plunge

26, September 2012

Not sure I want a kombucha pet right now, but a generous gift from Steven has me testing the (microbial) waters...

Since the biggest jar I could find was 4 pints (1/2 gallon), modified a gallon recipe as follows:

3 pints water
1/2 cup sugar

bring just shy of rolling boil, dissolve sugar

add black tea - used 1/2 ducky infuser (about 1 teaspoon) black current flavor black tea (from IsNat bulk)

turn off heat, let tea infuse while liquid cools

put sugar/tea solution in jar with SCOBY starter & its liquid

put towel on jar, put in dark place

should check in about a week
