Kombucha decanted and a new batch started off, thanks to everything I learned from @badgalboocha at her workshop recently! #kombucha #boocha #booch #homemade #healthydrink #ferments #fermentation #fermentationisfun #guthealth #gutflora https://www.instagram.com/p/CaxD225owCY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kombucha Recipe

- 1 SCOBY

- approx. 2 cups of booch from a previous batch

- 7 cups of water

- 1 cup of white sugar

- 5 green or black tea bags

- 1 BIG jar and a cloth to cover the top

- a few sealable jars or bottles

- some add-ins for the 2nd ferment (I like using honey, fruit juice, berries, and fresh herbs)

Step One:

Boil water and steep tea bags. Dissolve sugar while the water is still hot. Cool sweetened tea to room temp. Pour cooled tea into the big jar and pour (or plop) your SCOBY into the big jar along with the leftover kombucha. Cover with a cloth. Let rest in a dark/shaded space for 4-10 days. 

The rest time depends on how strong you like it. I like to give mine a little sip every day (with a straw to avoid the slimy SCOBY) to see how fast it’s fermenting. When it tastes good or when the sweetness has faded, move onto step two.

Step Two:

You are now ready for the 2nd fermentation! This step is all about creating carbonation and adding flavour. Carefully pour booch from your big jar into your sealable vessels, leaving a bit of air space. Make sure your SCOBY still has a couple cups of liquid to keep it healthy.

Carbonation occurs when you add sugars back into your booch and allow it to ferment while tightly sealed in a vessel. If you want bubbles, your add-ins need to be sugary (honey, fruit juice, berries) but sometimes you might just want some fun flavours (ginger, mint, basil). This booch is yours to experiment with!

Leave undisturbed in a sealed vessel for 3-5 days. The longer you wait, the more carbonation will accumulate. Pop the cap off and enjoy!

I like to dilute my booch with some still or sparkling water and simple syrup. Tailor your booch to how you like it and happy fermenting!

Officially in love with cherry season. 🍒😍❤️☀️ ~ The sour cherry kombucha is super tart and carbonated so well. I think I need to start adding more sugar to my recipes. #kombucha #homemade #cherry #sour #booch #boocha #makeyourown
