I LOVE kombucha tea, I started drinking it a little over a year ago and every time I go to the grocery store or on a little trip I treat myself to one. While I know there are more expensive and worse vices to have, my bank account (and therefore probably my husband) would prefer if I could resist the beautiful little glass bottles of culture at $3-$4 a pop. Solution: BREW my own kombucha. Most of my guy friends have gotten into brewing their own beer and I am going to join this brewing movement--just via tea.
A little over a year ago my mom bought a self brew kit from OK Oregon Kombucha and it has sat in a cabinet since then. This weekend I decided I was going to give this a whirl, the best by date read some time about six months ago ;/. I was a little bummed out, but then my dad said pointed out it said "best by" not "bad by", so I figured if it didn't turn out then I would be down a gallon of water and some suger--BUT if it worked I may be able to save $4 here and there, and enjoy kombucha way more frequently = WIN WIN.
If this works I am excited to keep brewing with my scoby and pass on a part of it to a friend- the guy working at the Ace down the street explained to me that out west people pass on pieces of their scoby as a sign of friendship and respect.
So here is my journey to my Blueberry Black Tea Kombucha

1. open up the package
2. boil one pot of water
3. put in the tea bag (black tea 4 mins, other 2-3)
4. add 1 cup sugar and let it dissolve
5. let the mixture cool and place in the appropriate container (food grade plastic, glass, or ceramic container with a wide mouth)
6. once the tea is at room temperature...still waiting for this, add the culture packet included
7. cover with cloth and secure the cloth with a string or rubberband
8. place in a warm darkish place (I think I will do our back storage space), the tea brews best at 85' degrees.
9. Wait it out and taste after seven days, let it keep growing until it reaches a taste you enjoy.

I am glad I will be leaving town for a little bit so that I am forced to be more patient! I will post some finished reviews.
