Making Kombucha!

Since we mastered the art of fermentation with sauerkraut, it's on to bigger and juicier things!

Kombucha is in the making at EcoWing, here's how:

Need-2 big round glass jars with big opening (1 gallon jars)
-1 cup sugar per 1 gallon of water + 4 tea bags/8 grams of tea
-organic black tea (no green tea) because it’s the most caffeinated

Do-Boil water, when it starts boiling throw in a cup of sugar
-When cup of sugar dissolves, turn off the water and steep the tea for 10minutes (or overnight)
-Allow tea to completely cool (let tea sit overnight to cool)
-Next day take out tea bags and put in scobe (as long as tea is room temp)
-Cover with paper towel and rubber band

*Sterilize jars very well; first rinse it with hot water and then add some apple cider vinegar and swish it around
*Also wash your hands with apple cider vinegar before you touch the scobe (don’t use soap)
*Scobe cannot touch metal, so do not get a jar with metal
*Make new batch of tea every two weeks
