To make your own scoby at home, all you need is spring water, organic black or green tea, organic sugar and 1 bottle of organic and raw store-bought unflavored GT’S kombucha.
To grow a healthy kombucha scoby, you will need a stainless steel pot, wooden spoon, and a glass jar to store your scoby. Make sure everything (including your hands) is sterilized with hot water and white vinegar. And never use antibacterial soaps because they will harm your baby scoby. Another thing that could harm your new baby scoby is hot water. This is why you have to wait for the black tea brew to cool down to room temperature before pouring the store-bought bottle of kombucha in it.
As far as how long it takes for your new baby scoby to grow, it depends on your weather conditions. My kombucha scoby took exactly 2 week to fully develop.
If you are not ready to ferment your first badge of kombucha when the scoby is done, you can just store the jar with the scoby (put a lid on it) in the refrigerator.
If you follow my steps, you should be able to make a healthy scoby and ferment a great kombucha free of mold and bad bacteria and fungi.
I hope you find this video helpful and if you have any questions or suggestions on how to make a scoby at home, please post them in the comment section and I will answer them.
I’ve watched over 50 YouTube videos on how to make / grow a kombucha scoby at home, so I hope I got the best of all. But if I have missed anything, please let me know.
An important fun fact – Scoby is a bacteria (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast), not a fungi. Therefore, the kombucha scoby is not a mushroom 🙂
I am not sure if you can make a kombucha scoby from scratch, unless you let a pot of sweet black tea sit outside for years… Yeasts and bacteria in the air might eventually get into the pot and help the formation of scoby from scratch….
