Equipment
Gallon size glass jar (make sure it's really clean!!)
Carefully place the or "mother" on top of the mixture, ideally floating it on top to seal the mixture off from air.
If the SCOBY is not the same size as the container, don't worry. It will grow to fill the container as it ferments.
Cover the jar with a cheesecloth or piece of organic cloth and a rubber band.
Let sit at room temperature for 7-12 days to desired tartness.
Remove the SCOBY and 1 cup of finished komobucha to start a new batch and repeat steps 1-9.
If a fizzy finished drink is desired, pour finished kombucha into airtight jars or bottles and add organic juice or fresh/frozen fruit. Add 1 part juice/fruit to 4 parts kombucha.
Cover tightly and let sit an additional 1-2 days until carbonated.
Store in the refrigerator in airtight containers until consumed.
