Kombucha Recipe

12 cups spring water/ 1 cup sugar/ 5 tea bags (bring spring water to boil, pour in 1 cup of white sugar and boil 5 mins, turn off heat and let 5 bags of organic black tea simmer for at least 10 mins. Let the tea/sugar/water cool down before adding ur scoby and kombucha tea to it.)
 
 
1 cup of kombucha tea (if u forget to save kombucha from ur last batch u can use apple cider vinegar instead -- I don't know how much, I never used vinegar before. You can look that info up on the kombucha website if u need to use vinegar)
 
1 or one large mother SCOBY)
and can add a baby SCOBY on top (both SCOBY should be smooth side up)
 
Put in a dark quite place for around 8 days. Temp. around 70 to 75 degrees. Taste to ur liking. 6 days is too sweet and 10 days starts to taste more vinegary if u mess up and it is too vinegary for u to appreciate, u can add a juice, water it down, use it as table vinegar for ur salads or for shampoo or antifungal -- i keep some in my bathroom for my hair). Add strawberries or herbs to ur tea after the scoby has been completed (they call that the first fermenting) add ur stuff and then let it soak a day or two in the fridge or out of fridge for a few hours (that is the second fermenting). Remember to burp ur bottles every once in a while to prevent them from blowing up:)
