Hi annielikestocook, I contacted with a friendly girl in an vegetarian forum and she sent me the culture (for free). This is my recommendation.
By the way, you can order it on-line:

There are many websites looking in google but I've never bought kombucha on-line.

Where would I get the Kombucha Culture? Could you suggest where I could buy it online? Would love to try and make it myself - it is a favourite drink in our household - some of our supermarkets sell it.
Great recipe by the way! Gets my 5!
