Making Kombucha Home Brew

So, recently I had an excessively fermented kombucha scoby and a buildup of empty store bought kombucha bottles in the recycling bin.   This was my cue to get back into home brewing kombucha- it's the best anyways.

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....

Hearty, but not heavy or grainy.

Just Sweet Enough

Da Dank! Loaded with Omegas and gently sweetened with agave & bananas. I wish I could make a zillion & give them to everyone, but I gotta settle for sharing the recipe & enjoying some feedback (& some taste testers maybe?). Mmmmmmm......can't type..... .....eating muffins.

Maybe One More...They're Super Healthy

I use Pamela's for freaking everything!  It is so good & light & delicious.  Divine for pancakes & waffles (I had given up on both as too heavy until I discovered Pamela's).  I double the eggs on all the recipes to make sure my vegetarian young people get protein & omega fatty acids.
