Brett D asked:
I will begin brewing my own kombucha in a few days, I did a few years ago. I am familiar with the process, but I was just wondering if anyone has used different teas to flavor the drink. I used to use green tea exclusively, what I am thinking now is to use 2/3 green tea and 1/3 gren tea flavored, like berry. Or maybe 1/2 and 1/2. Let me know your experiences or other ways to flavor the tea. I just don’t want to use fresh fruit, I like to store the tea and don’t want the fruit to go bad.

alicia asked:
I’m brewing it with green tea and sugar as instructed, using the live cultures from a drink I bought as “starters.”

Super Teas Part 3: Kombucha
Some say kombucha originated in Russia, others in ancient Manurchia. Wherever it’s from, its contents are yeast, bacteria, and enzymes. While bottled Kombucha tea is available, it can cost upwards of five dollars a bottle. The cost is why many people decide to brew their own. If you decide to do this you will need your own starter culture, various bottles, and cloths.
Kombucha tea is made by combining the culture with green, black, or oolong tea with sugar. The culture sits on top of the tea for a approximately a week and the yeast cultures consume the sugar to make more organic goodness.
Kombucha tastes a little like tart apple vinegar, and the fermenting process adds a little carbonation to the beverage. Finessing the fermentation time and the amount of sugar in the mixture will allow you to make it suit your own taste.
