INSTRUCTIONS for Gallon of Kombucha (My Updated Favorite Recipe)
INGREDIENTS:
1 Scoby
16 cups filtered water
12 grams black tea (12 tea bags)
1 cups white sugar
1 cup natural kombucha
-In your tea maker boil 8 cups of water.
-When it begins to boil add your tea and let it sit off the boil for about 20 minutes.
-Once your tea is brewed , transfer strained tea into a large glass container.
-Add your sugar to the tea and stir until dissolved
-Add in the rest of your water and let the temp settle to below 90 degrees
-Add Scoby to your tea along with 1 cup of Kombucha or Starter Liquid
Cover your container with clear kitchen towel and secure with a rubber-band.
Place your container somewhere dark with a temperature of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit if possible. I would suggest using a heat pad under the the container to get this temperature because the end results will be optimal!
-Let it ferment for 7-10 days. Liquid should be a light golden brown color after it ferments
-You can now enjoy a glass of your kombucha but a second fermentation is recommended for a better flavor. Check out part 2 for bottling and flavoring ☺

Oi with the spelling. How can I trust the info in this if you can’t double check basic spelling ?
Oi…
Am I stupid or do the measurements on the screen and in the description equal 1 gallon not 2? Am I missing the other 12 cups that are needed to make 2 gallons?
The instructions start at 3:24
I had been thinking that kombucha was japanese tea which only old people love to drink here lol
In japan,Kombucha means super solty traditional tea…
So everytime I saw kombucha in american videos,I was suprised lol
So you want to use a unflavored tea in the begging of fermentation?
Who drinks soda and feels better?
I'm gonna make my own kombucha and open my own crystal geode shop! #itsgood2dream
Question: how do you get the two gallons out of 16 cups? Is there another step of adding an additional 16 cups of water? Is it 1.5 cups of sugar per gallon or per two gallons? You said 2 gallons in the recipe but I only saw 16 cups total of liquid. Thanks!
Wondering how you get the chunks of food out of those flip top bottles efficiently so you can reuse them again?
I am a little confused about the ratios. It says to make 2 gallons of kombucha you need 16 cups of water etc. However 16 cups of water is 1 gallon. So do we need to double up the tea and sugar and water to make two gallons or are those ratios correct but the water amount isn't?
Can someone please tell me why 16 cups of water equals 2 gallons according his recipe
The CC won’t recognize that you’re saying “kom-bu-cha”
16 cups is = 1 gallon. How come this says this is for two gallons? Are the 16 cups the hot water and then your doubling with cold water?
Hello Sir may I know the brand of your tea maker?
The recipe says it makes 2 gallons but you only said 16 cups and then said 8+8 cups that’s only one gallon. Now I don’t know how much sugar to use
Thanks for all the awesome detailed tutorial, is it possible to verify final product without getting sick in the beginning?
Can I make kombucha with a vinegar scoby?
Can you use a raw organic sugar instead of white processed sugar and if so how much more or less? Thanks. I'm really enjoying this. You're very very informative. I love it. Thank you
Beginners is spelled wrong at the opening scene lol i can't be the only person to have noticed that … anyways, you are doing great!
You don’t wanna use cheesecloth because fruit flies will get in it
$4.99??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i can buy kombucha in truck loads
Is Kambootcha the same as Kombucha?
cant believe you explained everything and did not tell us if you close the closet or no???
in due respect ..avoid talking a lot…you talk to much , why dont just do the process
I noticed you have put yours in a wardrobe. Will it not mess up with kombucha, since there is a lot of bacteria floating in the wardrobe?
