Title: Home Made Synergy Kombucha
Ingredients:
– 1 SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast)
– 1 cup organic cane sugar
– 8 bags of black or green tea
– 1 gallon filtered water
– 2 cups starter tea (unflavored, store-bought kombucha)
Instructions:
1. Boil 4 cups of water in a large pot.
2. Remove the pot from heat and add the tea bags and let them steep for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the tea bags and stir in the sugar until dissolved.
4. Pour the sweetened tea into a large glass jar and add the remaining 12 cups of water to cool the mixture down.
5. Once the tea has reached room temperature, add the SCOBY and starter tea to the jar.
6. Cover the jar with a clean cloth or paper towel and secure it with a rubber band to keep out any contaminants while allowing airflow.
7. Place the jar in a warm, dark place, away from direct sunlight, and let it ferment for 7-10 days, depending on your desired level of tartness.
8. After the fermentation period, taste the kombucha. If it’s too sweet, let it ferment for a few more days. If it’s tart enough for your liking, it’s time to bottle it.
9. Remove the SCOBY and 2 cups of kombucha from the jar and set them aside for your next batch.
10. Strain the remaining kombucha through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solid particles.
11. Transfer the strained kombucha into clean bottles with a tight-sealing lid, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
12. If desired, you can add fruit juice, ginger, or other flavorings at this stage.
13. Tightly seal the bottles and let them carbonate at room temperature for 2-3 days.
14. Once the kombucha is carbonated to your liking, refrigerate the bottles to slow down the fermentation process and chill the drink.
15. Serve chilled over ice and enjoy the homemade goodness of your Synergy Kombucha!
