Steps
Infusion and fermentation
Pour 500ml of boiling water into the
jar
.
Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Pour the water to reach a total of 3 litres (the tea is now lukewarm).
Add the kombucha scoby with its liquid starter culture.
Cover the jar opening with the cloth and the elastic.
Leave to ferment for 10 to 15 days at room temperature.
Add flavour
Pour the honey into the kombucha and stir until dissolved.
Wash the limes well. Cut the limes in half and extract the juice with a juicer. Add the juice and the peels to the freshly brewed kombucha jar.
(Optional) For a green tea flavour that is more intense, add 1 tsp. green tea to do a cold infusion. Mix well.
Cover the jar with a lid and place in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator and filter the kombucha using a sieve or a cloth filter to remove the limes and tea leaves.
Bottle in pressure-resistant bottles, then store at room temperature for two or three days.
For more effervescence, leave 1 or 2 more days.
