It is easy and simple to make your own kombucha Tea. I find it enjoyable and relaxing even after doing so for over 20 years.
To make a gallon of Kombucha Tea. Simply boil water, add one cup of sugar, add 4-5 t-bags, add the Kombucha Culture (SCOBY or mother) and one cup of starter tea (previous brewed Kombucha Tea) Set aside in a quiet place and leave undisturbed for 7-14 days. Presto - your personal health elixir.
Kombucha is simple fermented sugar and tea. Here in the south (North Carolina) folks love Sweet Tea. That is what you really start with - just have to add some kombucha culture starter, set aside for a spell and harvest when you’re ready.
See our basic Kombucha Recipe for more detail.
The nice thing about making your own kombucha is that you can flavor and spice it up just the way you like it. Even add some medicinal herbs that actually make it taste even sweeter. If you like it really bubbly you can create your own mini-keg
Ah but the store bought stuff. There’s certainty getting to be many to choose from now a days. We have a nice selection here as well. The nice thing of all these commercial folks is that you get to try a real variety of what kombucha can be. It sure is convenient, and most supermarkets now carry a brand or two. If you’re out traveling try to stop in and check out a locally brewed Kombucha. If you find one that’s really just your cup of kombucha please let us all know about it in our blog.
You can also keep your Fresh made Kombucha or Ginger Beer as fresh and bubbly as the commercial stuff and for as low as a dollar a gallon. Check out our Kombucha Mini Keg and Creating all the carbonation you want when you want. Thank you for your patience.
