Instruction: How long does it take to make Kombucha?

Response: Many home brewers create kombucha using a two-step fermentation process. First, the sweet tea and SCOBY are combined in a container with a lid that is not airtight, but would keep out dust, debris, and any bugs. A dish cloth secured over the opening of a mason jar or crock is the simple set up of many home brewers. Leave this mixture at room temperature to ferment for 2-5 days, until the taste is to your liking. When ready, bottle the kombucha in airtight containers and add any flavor enhancing ingredients such as syrups, herbs, juices or fruit. Allow to ferment an additional 1-3 days to taste. Popular flavor enhancers include ginger, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, mint.
