HOW TO MAKE A SCOBY FROM SCRATCH FOR KOMBUCHA | Fermenting With Tim | Grow your own SCOBY at home

In this video, we show you how to grow your own SCOBY so you could eventually make kombucha. Have you ever thought about brewing your own kombucha at home? It all starts with a SCOBY. SCOBY is an acronym for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and YEAST (S.C.O.B.Y). This active, living culture is added to a batch of green or black tea and it turns plain tea into a fermented liquid. This is important because it is full of probiotics and combined with pre-biotics it sets you up for amazingly healthy gut health. Kombucha is a huge help in digestion and has many other health benefits. I started brewing my own kombucha at home about 2 years ago and I have never looked back. Get ready to start making a SCOBY. In future videos we will talk about actually making flavored Kombucha. Thanks so much for watching.
