Let’s get to it! When you downloaded the DIY Guide, you received my full instructions with pictures plus the Safety Do’s & Dont’s. I recommend using those more complete instructions when brewing, but if you’re just reading along, here’s my famous 10 Steps To Kombucha Tea recipe that you can use as a quick guide. 🙂
(this is a great easy brew guide for Continuous Brew owners who are just looking to make “top-off tea.” Follow steps 1-6 and you’ve got feeder solution for your Kombucha!)
This is the standard “short-cut” recipe for a 1-gallon batch. Scale your ingredients up or down depending on the size of your vessel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 4-6 bags tea – for loose leaf, 1 bag of tea = 1 tsp
- Kombucha SCOBY(s)
- 1 cup starter liquid – from previous batch (can substitute distilled vinegar)
- 1 gallon dechlorinated water
Supplies
- tea kettle or stainless steel pot
- brewing vessel
- cloth cover
- rubber band
