Do you want to ferment kombucha at home?
You only need 5 simple ingredients for production. Some ingredients can be varied depending on taste and personal preferences. For a controlled approach, you should pay attention to suitable, high-quality ingredients and clean working. If organic farming is important to you, you can also use organic ingredients.
You need for kombucha production:
- 1 large glass container with a wide opening (approx. 1 - 2 liters volume) – rinsed well with, for example, vinegar and without dish soap!
- 1 Scoby "kombucha mushroom"
- Tea – e.g., green tea, black tea, white tea (without flavorings/artificial additives)
- Cane sugar
- Water – filtered, if possible
- Starter liquid or ready-made very sour kombucha with a neutral taste as a starter liquid
- 1 breathable clean covering cloth
Where do I get a Scoby?
You can easily buy your Scoby – Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast – online or be lucky enough to have another kombucha lover give you a tea mushroom. Usually, the starter liquid is included by most providers.
