Problem: Article: Using apple cider vinegar or plain vinegar to wash hands and any other materials you will be using is a good substitute for antibacterial soaps. Use of non-latex gloves is also recommended, especially if touching the culture directly. According to taste, you may remove tea immediately after brewing, or leave them in for the next two steps. The culture will feed on the sugar, making it a necessary part of the fermentation process. Sugar will start to caramelize if water continues to boil, so that's why you turn off the heat. It will seem to take a long time to cool, but adding the culture when the water is too hot will kill it.
Summary: Wash your hands very well with hot water, do NOT use antibacterial soap as this can contaminate the Kombucha and destroy the good bacteria provided by the culture. Fill up your pot with 3 liters (3.1 quarts) of water and put the stove to high. Boil water for at least 5 minutes to purify it. Add about 5 tea bags to the hot water. Turn off heat and add 1 cup sugar. Cover and let tea sit until it is room temperature (around 75F/24C will do).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are three declensions in Greek: first, second, and third. Each noun must be declined with changes in its ending to denote whether its number is singular or plural, and whether its case is in the nominative (e.g., man in "a man sees a dog"), vocative (e.g., man in "O man, see the dog!), accusative (e.g., dog in "a man sees a dog"), genitive (e.g., of man in "the son of man sees a dog"), dative (e.g. for the man in "the son buys a dog for the man"). Adjectives are declined similar to nouns, and must agree with nouns in number, case, and gender. For example, the word (meaning "word" in English) is declined as follows: Nominative singular: Vocative singular: Accusative singular: Genitive singular: Dative singular: Nominative plural: Vocative plural: Accusative plural: Genitive plural: Dative plural: A preposition requires the noun following it (called the object of the preposition in English) to take a certain case (there is not a single objective case). For example, the preposition ("from") must be followed by a noun in the genitive case. The preposition ("in" or "on") must be followed by a noun in the dative case. A table of verbs is typically found at the end of most Greek textbooks: make sure to study it carefully. The "Present" and "Imperfect" tenses denote continuous or repeated action. The "Perfect" tense denotes completed action. The "Aorist" tense denotes a simple, indefinite action, used when there is no need to indicate continuity, completion, or incompletion of the action denoted by the verb. A verb may be in the active, middle, or passive voice, and is conjugated accordingly. Furthermore, a verb is conjugated according to its context, i.e. indicative, imperative, subjunctive, optative. For example, the Present Indicative Active of the verb ("I say") is as follows: 1st singular: "I say, or I am saying" 2nd singular: "Thou sayest, or thou art saying" 3rd singular: "He, she, or it says, or is saying" 1st plural: "We say, or we are saying" 2nd plural: "Ye say, or ye are saying" 3rd plural: () "They say, or they are saying" These must be memorised with practice. Try to make it a habit to revise a list of new vocabulary regularly, reviewing old ones prior to learning new ones. It is better to learn a little everyday, than trying to learn a lot once a week. You may find help from recorded lessons, a native speaker, or a fluent Greek language tutor.

SUMMARY: Learn the declensions. Learn the prepositions. Learn the verb conjugations. Learn the conjugation of irregular verbs. Learn new vocabularies and review them regularly, preferably daily. Progress to speaking Greek as you find help in the common idiom and vernacular.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Working with hot grease is a recipe for disaster. Burning yourself with grease won't help you get rid of it any faster. Not only can hot grease burn you, it can also burn through your trash bag or shatter a glass jar. It's better to be safe than sorry. Allow your grease to cool for at least 2 hours; adjust for more cooling time based on the volume of grease. If there's an unavoidable time-crunch for your grease disposal, you can line a cup with heavy duty foil and very carefully pour the hot grease into the cup. Place the cup in the freezer, and later remove the foil along with the frozen fat. The amount of grease you're dealing with will determine your method of removal. If there is a small amount of grease to dispose of, use a paper towel to wipe it out of the pan. For a large amount of grease, pour it into a sealable, disposable container. Since your grease container is going in the trash, try to use a container that would not otherwise be recyclable. If you don't have a container you're willing to part with, pour the grease into a dish and refrigerate until it solidifies. Then, scrape the grease out into the trash with a rubber spatula, and conclude by washing the dish. If you know you're going to be eating a lot of bacon and tossing the grease, think ahead. Save non-recyclable containers to use as grease-disposal vessels the next time you make a bacon batch. A paper towel soaked with a small amount of bacon grease can be placed in the trashor in your compost. A disposable container filled with bacon grease can be placed directly in the trash, or solidified grease can be scraped out of a container and deposited in the trash.
Summary:
Wait for the bacon grease to cool to room temperature before attempting to handle it. Remove the bacon grease from the pan. Toss the grease in the trash!
