Top 10 Things to Have for Brewing Your Own Kombucha

SCOBY

The Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY) is essential for fermenting kombucha.

Tea

Use black or green tea as the base for your kombucha brew.

Sugar

Sugar feeds the SCOBY during fermentation, turning tea into kombucha.

Brewing Jar

A large glass jar allows the kombucha to ferment properly.

Starter Liquid

A small amount of previously brewed kombucha jumpstarts fermentation.

Cloth Cover

A breathable cloth cover prevents contamination while allowing air circulation.

Bottles

Glass bottles with airtight lids help with carbonation in the second fermentation.

Flavoring Ingredients

Fruits, herbs, or spices can be added for unique kombucha flavors.

pH Strips

pH strips help monitor acidity levels to ensure safe fermentation.

Funnel

A funnel makes it easy to transfer kombucha into bottles without spills.
