Making Kombucha

Brewing kombucha starts with the right ingredients: tea, sugar, a SCOBY, and starter liquid. You can make a SCOBY yourself using our starter liquid from the webshop. Tea and sugar feed the SCOBY, which converts it into delicious, fizzy kombucha. Add fruits, herbs, or flowers for a unique flavor. All you need is a large jar, cheesecloth, a thermometer, and the ingredients. Store the kombucha in a swing-top bottle once it's ready.
