How to... brew your own kombucha
One of my most recent kitchen adventures has been brewing my own kombucha. I love all its great health properties but it was killing my weekly budget to buy it at the store (especially since I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific...). So I studied around and started up my own little process with a Scoby from a friend. I've been making it for about 6 months now and I'm loving it! You will need to have your own Scoby from a fellow kombucha lover or somewhere online. If you are just starting out, you will only want to follow steps 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7. Then follow steps 1-7 every two weeks for your own home brewed kombucha! These directions are for a 1/2 gallon jar so you might have to adjust based on your jar size. Here we go! Supplies needed... -Scoby -large glass jar with wide mouth opening (1/2 gallon) -coffee filter -organic black tea bags -sugar -vinegar -empty glass bottles (just save all your store-bought jars and wash em up!) optional flavoring...
