Ingredients
1
quart-sized jar
1
black tea bag
organic is best, as conventional tea is highly contaminated.
1
Tbsp.
organic sugar
you want the refined white sugar.
1 16
oz
bottle of plain kombucha
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.
