Blatherskite

I forgot to take pictures when I checked on my first batch of Kombucha Tea. I’ve already gone through the first batch and it was really delicious. I took out the mushroom and put it in a jar for safekeeping overnight while I washed the big glass jar in the dishwasher.

Our SCOBY had grown a “baby” so we peeled it off and threw it away. If we had a compost we would have composted it. We put the fermented tea in glass jelly jars, as you can see above. When the jar was washed we put in our newly steeped tea and the SCOBY to ferment for the next batch that will be done in about 10 days.

The tea is great! It’s nice and sweet and has little bit of oomph to it. Ours has a bit of a blueberry taste because of the blueberry tea I’ve been using. I’m looking forward to trying other herbal tea flavors to see how they affect the flavor of the finished product.

I recommend buying it at a health food store to try it out first before you decide to make it at home. It is definitely an acquired taste. And, honestly, the SCOBY looks and feels kind of icky so if you have an aversion to slimy things you won’t like making the tea. And if you do decide to make it yourself it is an ongoing process. But the great thing is that you will have an endless supply of Kombucha tea.
