Kombucha Tea KT Recipe: How To Ideas Probiotic Scoby
Ingredients:
– 1 SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast)
– 1 cup of sugar
– 4 bags of black or green tea
– 4 cups of hot water
– 1 gallon glass jar
– Lightweight cloth or paper towel
– Rubber band
Instructions:
1. Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan. Once the water reaches boiling point, remove it from heat.
2. Add the tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for about 10-15 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
3. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely in the tea. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
4. Once the sweetened tea has cooled down, transfer it to the gallon glass jar.
5. Gently place the SCOBY into the jar with clean hands. Cover the mouth of the jar with a lightweight cloth or paper towel, securing it with a rubber band to keep out any contaminants while allowing airflow.
6. Place the jar in a warm, dark place away from direct sunlight. Let the Kombucha ferment for 7-10 days, depending on your preferred level of tartness. Keep an eye on it and taste it periodically.
7. After the desired fermentation time, taste the Kombucha. If it’s too sweet, let it ferment longer. If it’s too tart, it’s ready to be bottled.
8. Carefully remove the SCOBY from the jar, along with 1-2 cups of the Kombucha to use as a starter for your next batch.
9. Pour the finished Kombucha into glass bottles, leaving a little space at the top. You can add fruit juice or flavors during this step if desired.
10. Seal the bottles tightly and let them carbonate in a dark, room-temperature location for 2-3 days.
11. Once carbonated, refrigerate the Kombucha to stop the fermentation process. Your homemade Kombucha is now ready to enjoy!
Experiment with different flavors and tea varieties to find your favorite combinations. Remember to care for your SCOBY by storing it in some of the starter liquid in the fridge until you’re ready to brew the next batch.
Enjoy the process of brewing your own Kombucha and the satisfaction of creating a healthy and delicious beverage right in your own kitchen. Share your creations with friends and family, and spread the joy of this probiotic-rich drink. Cheers to your homemade Kombucha success!
