This is a recipe for a batch of kombucha. It’s one of the easiest and most satisfying things I do in my kitchen, so I want to share it with you.
I think of kombucha as my “welcome home” drink. When I come downstairs after work, I’m always so happy to see the SCOBYs floating at the top of my brewing vessel. And they smell amazing!
I brew kombucha regularly because it makes me feel good, but also because it makes me feel like I’m participating in a microbiotic community. I love knowing that there are little colonies of beneficial bacteria living on the surface of my body and growing in my kitchen.

This is a great recipe, but I would like to recommend some changes. First, it takes more than one day to make kombucha. Plan ahead and get everything ready before you start. Second, during the first few days of fermentation, I would suggest leaving the lid off the jar so that the brew can come to room temperature faster (and so that you can check it). Third, when it’s time to taste test your brew, be sure to use a clean spoon or other implement. A dirty spoon will taint your brew. Also be sure that your vessel is clean and doesn’t have any residual vinegar or sugar on it from previous batches of kombucha; this can also affect the taste of your brew. Finally, if you have extra starter liquid from another batch of kombucha (or if you’re using tea that was brewed with lemon), add it back into the jar at this point in order to give your brew a kickstart back into action if it seems like it’s slowing down or “sleeping.”

Kombucha recipe
Kombucha is a fermented, sweetened tea drink that has been consumed for over two thousand years. It is made by brewing sweetened tea with a culture called “scoby” (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The scoby converts the sugar in the tea into acids, including acetic acid, which gives kombucha its unique tart flavor.
The ancient Chinese used kombucha to treat liver ailments hannah howo, constipation, indigestion and high cholesterol. Today people use it for boosting immunity and detoxification, as well as preventing cancer and heart disease.
1.5 liters of purified water
1/2 cup of sugar (I use organic cane sugar)
1/2 cup of white or black tea (organic if possible)
1 kombucha SCOBY, also known as a mother or mushroom
(If you don’t have a SCOBY, you can purchase one here.)
Ingredients:
1.5 – 2 quarts of water, depending on the size of your brewing vessel

Kombucha tea is a fermented beverage made by adding a starter culture of bacteria and yeast to sweetened tea. The fermentation process produces carbonation in the form of bubbles. The resulting taste may be slightly vinegar-like, depending on the length of time since bottling.
Kombucha has been around for thousands of years and has been known as a health tonic in China, Russia and other parts of Asia for centuries. It is now gaining popularity in North America as many people have found it to be very beneficial to their health and well being.
Kombucha can help with:
Digestive issues (such as constipation, diarrhea & gas)
Weight loss & weight maintenance (due to its high probiotic content)
Immune system health (as it contains active cultures & enzymes)
Kombucha is a fermented tea that has been around for centuries. It was believed to have originated in China, and was later popularized in Russia, where it was sold as a health tonic. Kombucha’s popularity spread from Russia to Germany, and then to the United States.
Kombucha can be made with black or green tea. It is also made with white sugar and sweetened with fruit juice or flavorings such as ginger, lemon or raspberry. The finished product is an effervescent drink that has been described as cider-like or champagne-like in flavor.
The fermentation process takes around 7-10 days, depending on the temperature of your kitchen and the amount of sugar used during preparation. The kombucha culture (SCOBY) will float on top of the liquid until it thickens into a rubbery pancake shape over time. Then it sinks to the bottom of your jar before you use it again!
