HOMEMADE SCOBY RECIPE | COOKING LIGHT



Homemade SCOBY Recipe | Cooking Light image

SCOBY is an acronym that stands for symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's the "mother" that you use for every batch of kombucha you make, and it looks like a round, flat, opaque-beige piece of agar agar (like what was in those Petri dishes in chemistry class). You can order a SCOBY, or you can make your own. But you have to have one in order to brew kombucha. Whenever you brew a new batch, a new layer grows onto the SCOBY; it's easy to peel off, so you can use it to start another batch for yourself, or you can give away 'baby' SCOBYs to friends who want to get started.

Yield 1 SCOBY

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
8 bags black tea or green tea
2 cups starter tea (prepared Kombucha, original flavor)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add sugar, and stir until sugar completely dissolves. Turn off heat. Add tea bags, and allow mixture to come to room temperature (add ice to speed this process if you're in a hurry). Pour kombucha into a 1-gallon-sized jar. Add room-temperature tea; do not add hot tea, as it will kill the good bacteria. Add cool water to fill jar to the top, just where the mouth starts to narrow. Cover jar with two coffee filters or a double layer of paper towels, and secure with a rubber band. Place jar in a place, at room temperature, where it won't get jostled and it's out of direct sunlight; it does not need to go in a dark place, just out of direct sun. It will probably take 2 to 4 weeks for your SCOBY to form. You can lift the covering to see what's happening—just try not to slosh the liquid at all. At first, nothing will happen; then, after a few days, you'll see some bubbles forming on the surface. Then you'll see more and more bubbles, and maybe a thin, clear jellyfish-looking blob on the surface. Once the blob covers the surface, is opaque, and is roughly ¼-inch thick, you have a viable SCOBY.

Provided by Jean Luc

Categories     Drinks

Prep Time 15 minutes

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 - 18 g green tea ((and/or black tea))
500 ml hot water ((85°C or more))
250 g cane sugar ((or dextrose))
2 l cold filtered water
500 ml kombucha scoby ((starter with high yeast content + kombucha scoby))

Steps:

  • Brew tea in hot water for 15 to 45 minutes. Remove tea bag of tea leaves.
  • Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
  • Pour the sweet tea into the fermentation container and add, in the following order, the cold filtered water, the starter and, if desired, the kombucha scoby (whole or a piece of it). Be sure to use everything in the starter jar, as yeast tends to stick to the bottom.
  • Cover with a cloth and secure it around the container with the rubber band or string. Allow fermenting for 5 to 14 days at a room temperature of 28°C or higher, or until it is sufficiently acidic to taste. Fermentation at high temperature will produce a drier and less acidic kombucha.
  • Set aside 500ml of the liquid and the kombucha scoby in a jar and store it in the fridge. This will be used to start the next production.
  • Flavour the remaining kombucha. Hard kombuchas are often a little low in sugar, so don't hesitate to add 50ml of honey or 200ml of fruit juice.
  • Filter the kombucha with a strainer or cotton cloth over the pitcher to remove particles. Stir the bottom of the fermentation container to collect all the yeast.
  • Place the clean bottles in the sink. Using a funnel, fill them up to 1cm from the mouth. Close the bottles.
  • Store the bottles in the warmest possible space for rapid fermentation (between 25°C and 35°C). Caution: kombuchas that are high in yeast content will quickly ferment in bottles.
  • Taste. If the quantity of fizz is sufficient for you, slow down the secondary fermentation by putting the bottles in the fridge.
