We need any tea to prepare Kombucha. It is usually made of this black or green. We cannot forget about the aforementioned Scoby. We will buy a tea mushroom online, usually with starting liquid, thanks to which we will be able to start the fermentation process.
What ingredients do we need to make homemade Kombucha? Here is the exact list:
- 1 tea bag;
- 1 l of water;
- 4 tablespoons of sugar;
- Scoby set.
To start with, boil water with sugar and brew tea in it for about 15 minutes. Then we cool it and pour into a clean, glass jar.
Then we add 1 cup of starting fluid and “mushroom” to it from the SCOBY set. Cover the dish with a cloth and set aside in a warm, dark place, for a minimum of 7 days, and a maximum of a month (the longer the storage time, the more sour the drink). In the event of mold, we must start this process again.
