Brewing your own kombucha takes barely more effort than simply making sweet tea! You don't even need any special fermentation supplies—just a glass jar and a strainer. With our starter culture, you can learn how to make this popular probiotic beverage in your own kitchen. "Kombucha" = Japanese for "seaweed tea" Why drink kombucha? Kombucha is an ancient fermented tonic made from sweetened tea. Once cultured, this effervescent beverage contains a host of beneficial bacteria, yeasts, and acids imparted to it by its kombucha mother culture, often referred to as a SCOBY. Kombucha has a long history of consumption in Asia and Europe, but in recent years it has gone somewhat mainstream. Many drink kombucha for the host of health and probiotic benefits it is touted for, while others simply enjoy its tangy, fizzy flavor. What is a SCOBY? "SCOBY" is an acronym for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast. Also called "mushrooms" due to their appearance, these slimy, gelatinous disks are the masterminds behind kombucha. One thing all kombucha SCOBYs have in common is that they are a self-perpetuating culture. This means the SCOBY multiplies itself through the process of creating kombucha. As you continuously ferment more kombucha, new "baby" SCOBYs will form, allowing you to replace the "mother" SCOBY. Why Homemade Is Better Healthier Many commercial kombuchas are produced with unnatural fermentation and additives to last longer, but you'll control every aspect of homemade kombucha. More Cost-Effective Your SCOBY will pay for itself within a few batches, and you'll continue to save more with every brew. Easy to Flavor With store-bought kombucha, you're limited to the available flavors. When you make it yourself, you can flavor it however you like! Limitless Supply You don't have to keep buying more kombucha constantly; you can just have a continuous brew system at home and always have kombucha on hand. Do I need any special equipment to make kombucha? You probably already have everything you need at home! All you'll need is a quart-sized glass jar; a thermometer; a coffee filter or tight-weave cloth; a rubber band; a plastic mesh strainer; and measuring cups. How long does kombucha take to ferment? Typically between 7 and 30 days. The initial rehydration batch takes a full 30+ days, but subsequent batches can be shorter depending on the desired taste. (Shorter ferments are sweeter; longer ones, more vinegary.) Generally we recommend 10–20 days. Where should I put my kombucha jar while it cultures? It's crucial that your kombucha is given the proper temperature to ferment successfully (68–85°F). It can culture on your countertop (provided it's at least 4 feet from any other cultures) or in a cupboard. Just make sure it's out of direct sunlight. My SCOBY is acting weird. Is it okay? Many strange symptoms are actually totally fine, even signs of a healthy ferment. Some examples: brown stringy debris; bubbles; culture sank to bottom of jar; SCOBY climbing out of liquid; or cloudy white layer on top (it's a baby SCOBY forming). I've been making kombucha for a while now and have more SCOBYs than I can use. What can I do with the extras? You can always give a SCOBY to a friend (tucked into some starter tea); put it in your compost; feed it to your dog or cat; cut into pieces and dehydrate it as a healthy snack (for you OR your pet); or you can even make SCOBY candy!

Kombucha & Kefir Kefir, like kombucha, is a fermented probiotic beverage, just made with a different kind of SCOBY that comes in the form of gelatinous blobs called "grains" (they don't actually have any grain, though). Water kefir is made with sugar water, as opposed to kombucha, which is made with sweet tea. In this video, learn about the similarities and benefits of both kombucha and kefir.
