Basic Kombucha Recipe

Basic Kombucha Recipe Introduction Kombucha is a fermented tea that has gained popularity for its tangy flavor and potential health benefits. This fizzy drink, rich in probiotics, is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). Brewing your own kombucha at home allows you to customize flavors and control the fermentation process. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started on making refreshing and effervescent kombucha. Ingredients 1 SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) 1 cup starter kombucha (unflavored, from a previous batch or store-bought) 4-6 cups water 4 bags black or green tea (or 1 tbsp loose leaf tea) 1 cup granulated sugar 1-2 cups fruit juice or pureed fruit (optional, for flavoring) 1-gallon glass jar (for fermentation) Cheesecloth or coffee filter Rubber band Instructions
