No Frills or Fru-Fru, Just Plain Ol' Kombucha
For 1/2 gallon:
(almost) 1/2 gallon water
rounded 1/2 cup sugar
3 tagless black tea bags
1/2 cup kombucha (starter)
Kombucha SCOBY
Boil water. Add sugar. Mix until fully dissolved. Add tea. Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool completely.
Pull out tea bags and pour sweet tea into a glass bowl or jar. Add kombucha starter. Lay kombucha SCOBY on top. Cover with a cloth and secure with a rubber band.
Allow to sit, undisturbed in a dark, warm spot for about 5 days. When taste is just a little sweeter than you want, remove SCOBY, strain tea and bottle. Allow to sit in the dark, warm spot another 1-2 days.
Refrigerate and enjoy drinking!
(Remember, measurements can be approximate. If you like your tea a little weaker, 2 bags might be enough for you, etc.)
