  • About

The process of making kombucha can feel quite mystical, but it is actually very simple. Once you have developed a strong and active ferment with this base recipe you can experiment with it. You can use different teas (as long as they don’t contain oil) and sugars, and make interesting syrups and infusions for the second stage of fermentation. You can also explore endless possibilities with the fermented liquid and the SCOBY itself.
