I'm thinking about starting Kombucha soon, if you could share the recipe and any tips or tricks I would greatly appreciate it!!

I would normally refer to Reddit, where I found my base recipe as well.. but we are now on lemmy!

Basically:

  • Make strong black tea, dissolve 70g cane sugar per liter. I think some people use less sugar maybe.
  • when cool, add to scoby from previous batch in large container with access to air through a cloth (prevents insects etc from getting in)
  • ferment for 1-2 weeks depending on temperature and desired tartness. This is F1
  • make syrup with fruits, sugar, water and strain or take some fruit juice
  • add to bottle that can withstand pressure (flip top bottles from Grolsch work well). Fill up with F1 kombucha. I think I use more or less 1:6 ratio of syrup:kombucha. Make sure to fill the bottle almost completely.
  • Ferment for another few days (I did 4 days now) in closed container to build carbonation. This is F2
  • refrigerate and enjoy
