Today, we’ll be going over it and how it is made.
Kombucha is extremely easy to make; after all, it’s just fermented sweet tea. The majority of time brewers use the traditional kombucha recipe here. Traditional kombucha is made with black tea, sugar, water, and a kombucha starter culture or SCOBY. While not as popular, there are certainly other recipes out there that use different tea types, both traditional tea and herbal tea, in both the primary kombucha fermentation and second fermentation. Often alternate recipes aren’t used until a brewer has learned the traditional brewing process and then is ready to explore other options. This leads us to today’s topic.
