Making Kombucha


making kombucha

Ingredients:
  • 1 Scoby
  • 8 Black Tea Bags
  • 1 Cup Pure Sugar
  • Distilled Water
Directions:
1. Reserve two cups of original kombucha and Scoby to add to a clean gallon jar.
2. Boil two to three cups of water, add one cup of pure sugar, and stir until dissolved. Then steep 8 black tea bags (or 2 family size tea bags).  Do not use Early Grey tea!  
Let cool to room temperature.
3. Pour sweet tea into the gallon jar. Top with distilled water, a coffee filter and rubber band. Label with the date.  Let sit for 10-14 days to complete the ferment.
4. Pour into airtight bottles. Sit in cabinet 1-2 days for extra fizz.
5. Store containers in the refrigerator.
   

Notes 
  • My pickiest eater loved Kombucha so much we did second ferments using whole fruit or puree/ juices.  The flavors are endless.
  • We used mandarin oranges added to the kombucha and refrigerated for 2 days.
  • Next up dried Ningxia wolfberries added to another bottle of booch and refrigerated for 2 days.  
  • Our favorite was adding grape juice to our booch and again refrigerate for 2 days and try the brews!
  • Do NOT substitute Honey for the sugar in the recipe!
  • Make sure your water is free of chlorine and other harmful chemicals.
Never miss a recipe!

About Me

Hi, I’m Jenn! 👋 I’m so glad you’re here!
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed when trying to make healthier choices. For over 20 years, I’ve been on a journey to create a gluten-free and low-tox lifestyle that doesn’t feel restrictive, complicated, or expensive. My mission is to help busy women like you transition to a healthier home and diet—without the stress.

Why I Do This

My journey started when I realized that many of the foods and products I was using every day were impacting my health. I have gluten sensitivity, and several family members also follow a gluten-free diet. But I didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on delicious food or spending hours researching safe products. So, I set out to simplify the process!
As I started reading labels and swapping out processed foods, skincare, and cleaning products for safer, healthier alternatives, I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. It became clear that small, intentional swaps make a big impact—and I want to help you do the same.

My Philosophy
