Making homemade kombucha is so easy. Store bought bottles are $2 or more, but you can make a gallon for around the same amount of money or less. It’s also fun to play around with creating new flavors. If you are new to Kombucha I would suggest buying some at a health food store (although it’s becoming so popular now that even a lot of Target’s carry it!) Taste it and get used to it. Kombucha is a super healthy all natural energy drink, full of probiotics and hard to get vitamins. It’s also naturally fizzy so makes a great soda replacement for people who want to get off soda.

Welcome to my kitchen! My name is Amanda and I like to make healthy, homemade dinners to get your family sitting around the dinner table more nights of the week. Together, lets have fun, learning how to ditch the recipe and cook with some basic methods. That way you can learn to adjust recipes to your families dietary and taste needs. Food is love and community and I want to share that with you. Please subscribe!

Kombucha*
about 1 gallon of water (filtered is preferred)
6-8 black tea bags, preferably organic, for the healthy of the SCOBY
1 cup of organic white sugar, turbanido or rapadura. Succant isn’t preferred. Don’t use Honey.
1-2 cups of kombucha from previous batch (your SCOBY will come with some.)
1 SCOBY, acquired online or from a friend.

Make a batch of sweet tea. 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of sugar and 6-8 tea bags. When tea is room temperature, add SCOBY and Kombucha from previous batch, or starter kit. Cover with a tightly woven cloth and a rubberband. Fruit flies and gnats are attracted to kombucha and you don’t want them laying eggs in your SCOBY!
Leave your covered Kombucha in a darkish place where it will be undisturbed for 10-14 days. Then either bottle it or transfer it to another gallon container. You can add fruit when you bottle it or add 1 tsp sugar per cup for plain Kombucha. If you use fruit, I’d say 1-2 whole strawberries per 16 oz. So it isn’t much. If you use fruit juice you are only going to use about 1 oz to flavor 15 oz of Kombucha, it isn’t much. Let sit at room temperature for 1-3 days (you can go longer, it will just get stronger.) Refrigerate and enjoy!

*the natural fermentation process does produce alcohol, but it’s usually only 0.5-1% and is such a small amount it can be sold to children. But if you have alcohol sensitivity, please do further research.
