Instructions

  • Make a strong sweet tea and let it cool. I usually take 8-10 tea bags, 1 cup of sugar, and boiling water. Let sit on the counter for a few hours to steep and cool, remove the tea bags and pour into your kombucha crock and top off with cool water. Keep at room temperature, about 70-75°F, for one to three weeks.
