Ingredients
  • 2 slices of Kombucha culture.
  • 125 ml of prepared Kombucha tea
  • About a shot glass of apple vinegar (optional)
  • 2 spoons of black tea
  • Green tea (optional)
  • 2 liters of water
  • 1/2 cup of sugar

Directions
  1. Make about 2 liters of black tea, you can add green tea if you want.
  2. Add the sugar and dissolve it
  3. Let the tea cool down to ambient temperature.
  4. Add the Kombucha tea (or vinegar if you don't have it yet)
  5. Put the liquid in a big jar and add the slices of kombucha culture.
  6. Cover the jar with a tea towel. Make sure the kombucha can breath!
  7. Put the jar in a dark place, far from smokes, shooks or perturbations.
  8. Let it for 10 days. A new kombucha slice will grow on the top.
  9. You can taste it, his flavor and smell is like the apple cider.
  10. IMPORTANT: Be careful with molds! If mold does grow on the surface of the kombucha pellicle, or "mushroom," it is best to throw out the batch and start afresh.

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!


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.


Thanks a million Beakman! I will check out the forums and the websites you recommended! Thanks for your trouble!
Will let you know when I get to make it!
