Kombucha Tea — How to Make Kombucha

How To Grow A Kombucha SCOBY
Kombucha, the effervescent and tangy health drink made from fermenting sweetened tea, is my family’s favorite beverage. We drink about 2 gallons of the stuff per week. But what if you’re a lone wolf, daring to make kombucha on your own? Where are you supposed to get a good SCOBY? The most reputable online stores charge anywhere from $20-$35 per kombucha mother. YIKES! So, I thought I’d show you how to grow your own for about $3.50.

Making kombucha is a simple process, although many are still intimidated by the prospect of fermenting their own beverage. My favorite flavor combination is to brew up a batch of kombucha with jasmine green tea, then do a second fermentation with apple juice added. The resulting apple jasmine kombucha is profoundly refreshing.
