  • Summary

    While I don't use white sugar in my cooking or baking, the experts over at Cultures For Health say it is required for kombucha and it should not be replaced or substituted. During fermentation, the white sugar reacts with the tea and kombucha culture to produce acetic, lactic and glucuronic acid. Adapted from Nourishing Traditions

    Ingredients

    • 3 quarts filtered water?
    • 1 cup organic white sugar (evaporated cane crystals)?
    • 4 organic green tea bags?
    • 1/4 cup dried hibiscus (or your favorite loose-leaf tea)?
    • 1/2 cup kombucha from a previous culture (go to your natural foods store for this, or if you purchase the the scoby I've linked to below, the kit will come with 1/2 cup of kombucha to get you started)?
    • 1 kombucha scoby or starter culture
