Kombucha is a fermented drink made from sweetened tea and a culture called a "scoby" (or symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The scoby is what makes kombucha unique. It's like a jellyfish-like blob that you'll need to grow if you want to make your own kombucha at home. Kombucha is commonly made with black tea, but you can also use green or white tea. If you're using black tea, steep the tea bags in hot water for 5-10 minutes before adding them to your mixture.
Kombucha can be tricky to brew your first time because you need a SCOBY, but don't worry! We've got you covered. Here are the steps for making kombucha recipe at home:
Make Kombucha at Home:
You might be wondering how to make kombucha. It's not as tricky as you might think, and the process is very simple. You'll need some starter tea, sugar, a jar and some water. You can find all of these at your local grocery store.
First, you'll want to brew some tea. Use 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf black tea per cup of water that you use in your brew. If you're using a tea ball infuser or basket (like this one), simply add the tea leaves directly into the basket and steep for 5 minutes in boiling water before removing them from the heat source. If you're brewing loose tea on the stove top or in an electric kettle, don't worry about steeping time—just let it sit until all of the liquid has been absorbed by your strainer or teapot filter basket!
Once you've brewed your tea, let it cool down until it reaches room temperature before pouring it into a glass jar with a lid (we recommend using a mason jar). Add 3 tablespoons of sugar for every cup of starter liquid that you have.
Kombucha, water kefir, and kombucha milk are all fermented drinks that are easy to make at home. They're also great for your gut health and can help you lose weight. We hope, in this article, we covered how to make each one of these beverages—but first, let's talk about what exactly they are.
