Here you see a close up of the overgrown scoby.

Like everything, it starts with water:
Boil water. Make tea. Dissolve sugar into tea. Allow to cool completely. Pour into glass gallon jar. Add scoby & mother liquid. Top off with water to fill jar.
This is the original recipe I got from the local soul sister that gave me my original kombucha culture 2 years ago.
I used 3 green and 3 black tea bags. I used organic unbleached white sugar even though I've heard straight white sugar works the best because its so purified. I should note that everything I used in the process I cleaned with white vinegar first. Vinegar is awesome for cleaning!!!
The brew. In three weeks I will have some magical living tea! Yay!!!! I'll keep you posted....
