Ingredients

  • 1 quart-sized jar
  • 1 black tea bag organic is best, as conventional tea is highly contaminated.

Instructions

  • Brew your tea by pouring one cup of boiling (filtered) water over the tea bag.  (Let steep approximately ten minutes removing the tea bag.)
  • Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.  (Let cool another ten minutes.)
  • Pour both the cup of tea and the bottle of kombucha in your jar.
  • Cover the jar with a breathable towel, secured with a rubber band.
