This is my basic recipe for a first fermentation. It can’t get simpler than that. If you are new to brewing kombucha, I would suggest using this recipe over any other listed in this blog.

Sweet Tee

For each litre of sweet tee use:

• 3g black tee (unflavoured!)
• 50g sugar beet sugar OR 60g cain sugar

Fermentation Liquid

Fill your brewing vessel with:

• 1 Scoby
• 1/5 starter liquid
• 4/5 sweet tee

Fermentation Time

As fermentation time highly depends on temperature this one is hard to answer. In general I use those times as baselines:

• 7 days during summer (25+ degrees celsius)
• 8 days during autumn (around 20 degrees celsius)
