You can't go back after a batch of kombucha is contaminated, so start fresh with a clean work space! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-step-1-clean-and-sanitize-your-jars-and-work-area\">STEP 1: CLEAN AND SANITIZE YOUR JARS AND WORK AREA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash your counter tops and kombucha jar and your hands with warm soapy water. Then, use a freshly washed cloth to wipe everything down again with warm water to get any soap particles off. You should have a clean kombucha jar, a clean counter, and be working with clean hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-step-2-brew-black-tea\">STEP 2: BREW BLACK TEA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add the one cup of sugar<\/strong> to the bottom of the glass jar or pitcher. <strong>Heat the water<\/strong> and pour it into the jar (about \u00bd way). <strong>Stir to dissolve the sugar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**NO this is not for a sweetened tea. This is necessary food for the bacteria to eat while it is fermenting. IF you don\u2019t add the sugar, the bacteria will have nothing to eat and will die. If you don\u2019t like a sweet taste, let it go to about 2 weeks and the bacteria will have eaten almost all of the sugar.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add 6 black tea bags and let them steep about 5-10 minutes<\/strong>. You can do more or less time if you want a stronger tea flavor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"black tea in a large glass jar\" class=\"wp-image-1336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-205x205.jpg 205w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-steeping-tea-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove the black tea bags. Test the temperature of your water with a thermometer. You will want it ~75-85 degrees. You can speed this process up by adding more cool filtered water. I like to let it cool naturally, because you don\u2019t want it to be too cold. <strong>Room temperature is perfect for the healthy kombucha bacteria to thrive<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-step-3-add-skoby-amp-starter\">STEP 3: ADD SKOBY &amp; STARTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your black tea is 75-85 degrees, you can <strong>add 1 cup of starter and 1 skoby<\/strong>. Your starter is just a cup of kombucha from your last batch. If this is your first homemade kombucha brew, add a bottle of store bought kombucha. If you purchased a skoby, it will typically come with a starter included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> After you added the starter and skoby, <strong>top the jar off with room temperature water, leaving about 1 inch of room at the top<\/strong>. <strong>Stir to<\/strong> make sure that everything is evenly combined.  Cover with cheesecloth and secure the cheesecloth with a rubber band.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"fermenting kombucha with a cheesecloth on top \" class=\"wp-image-1337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-205x205.jpg 205w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kombucha-ready-to-ferment-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-first-ferment\">FIRST FERMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is now called the first ferment stage of making homemade kombucha. This is when the bacteria from the skoby and starter are eating the sugar in your jar and creating more kombucha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very important to put your kombucha in the correct place for optimal kombucha brewing. You want your kombucha spot to be 3 things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Warm but not hot<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean with airflow<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Out of direct sunlight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Put your kombucha jar somewhere, out of direct sunlight with ample air flow. And somewhere that it is not going to get bumped into. You will want it to be undisturbed until it is time for the kombucha taste test.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three things I have learned on where NOT to put my kombucha while it's fermenting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inside a dark cupboard of closet, because it will mold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near the garbage can, because it will mold. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near strong smelling onions, garlic, or produce, because the kombucha will absorb these flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p> Ideally, put kombucha on an out of the way shelf, that gets some light but is not directly in front of a window.  You can see that this time I chose to put it on a shelf, where it is not too dark, and it can get some airflow. This is also in my kitchen, where it is quite warm year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure

If you like the<strong> sweetness, you can move on to bottling it<\/strong> (also called the \"second ferment\").   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will see your skoby floating, and even sinking to the bottom. There may be dark pieces of goop hanging off the bottom. Don\u2019t worry, this is all normal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IF there is fuzzy mold on top, discard it.

This time, you will be sealing your kombucha bottle, while during the first fermentation we used cheesecloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want your kombucha carbonated, that is okay too, you can still get all the healthy kombucha benefits. Simply pour your kombucha into an airtight container and put it directly into the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-to-bottle-and-flavor-kombucha-for-carbonation\">HOW TO BOTTLE AND FLAVOR KOMBUCHA FOR CARBONATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Line up clean glass jars that can be sealed air tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add ~1\u201d of some kind of juice to the bottom. I usually use mango or guava juice.  You can also experiment with different herbs and even fresh mashed fruit. Fruit or fruit juice is important because it has natural sugars that the kombucha bacteria feed on to create carbonation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"how to make homemade kombucha\" class=\"wp-image-1339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-205x205.jpg 205w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bottling-flavors-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour\nyour kombucha in and leave about 2\u201d of room at the top. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seal and let them sit for 2-3 days at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-205x205.jpg 205w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/secondary-fermentation-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They may grow another tiny skoby, so instead of drinking a chunky surprise, you can strain the kombucha and pour it back into the bottle.
