black tea
⅝
cup
sugar
6
cup
filtered or chlorine-free water
1 ½
cup
plain commercial kombucha
Steps
Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of boiling water into the jar and add the tea.
Steep for 15 minutes. Remove the tea.
Pour sugar and stir until dissolved
Pour 4 cups (1 liter) of water. Your tea should now be lukewarm.
Pour the kombucha.
Cover the container with the cloth and rubber band.
Let it ferment for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature. A thin film will form on the surface and the taste of the kombucha should become more acidic.
Taste from time to time and when you like the flavour, remove the scoby and about 500ml (2 cups) of liquid.
You just created a kombucha scoby!
