How to make Kombucha

Check out Healthy Food Guide’s recipe for how to make kombucha.

All you need is:

• large glass jar

• sheet of paper towel or small clean cloth

• elastic band

• 1 litre filtered or cooled, boiled water

• 1/4 cup white sugar

• 2-3 tea bags or 2-3 teaspoons loose tea

• 1 SCOBY (sourced from a kombucha-making friend or buy one from a health food store or online)

• at least 1/2 cup kombucha (from a previous batch so you can be sure it has live culture)

Blueberry kombucha, the new favourite - when you have finished your first ferment, remove SCOBY, add a handful of frozen blueberries and 1tbsp sugar/bottle… leave for 3-5 days in a sealed bottle (pop the top daily to avoid explosions!!) and voila, done. Remove the berries before drinking.
