Embark on a flavorful journey with our homemade kombucha brewing process β it’s a bit of a wait, but the taste is absolutely worth it! π΅β¨
π Steps to Kombucha Bliss:
Scoby Start: We kick off with the Gaia Kombucha kit’s scoby.
Tea Time: Brew 6 bags of black tea in a sterilized gallon jar and let it cool.
Fermentation Fun: Add the scoby and starter liquid, then cover and wait for those tell-tale bubbles.
Flavor Fiesta: This batch? Lemon, ginger root, and blueberry! ππ
Save for Later: Remember to reserve a cup of kombucha for your next batch.
More Brewing: Ready to repeat? Start a new batch with the saved scoby and liquid.
Flavor Infusion: Add your chosen flavors to a sterilized jar and pour in the kombucha. Wait for fermentation’s bubbly encore.
Bottling Time: It’s all about the fizz! Make simple syrup, add to bottles, strain in the kombucha, seal, and wait before chilling.
π Pro Tips:
Sterilization is key! We use Star San for all equipment.
Watch for a new scoby during fermentation β it means more kombucha at once!
Always keep a cup of kombucha aside before flavoring β your future batches need it!
This process is an adventure in flavors and homemade ‘dranks’. Happy Brewing! π
