I finally found a way to make kombucha that tastes great. I put a scoby into a half jar of fruit juice (organic goji juice, but it probably doesn't matter the kind as long as it's tightly closed), left it in the frig for a week or more, and it turned into kombucha that tastes like the kind I bought from the HFS, super carbonated and tangy.
There was no tea in it.

This is a reply to # 1,739,450Wow that is SO COOL, gina! I'm gonna try that!
This summer I put some kombucha in one of those fly catcher jars ... fruit flies fly in through the holes on the side of the jar and they can't get out and drown. I forgot about it and the other day I noticed it and sure enough, there's a scoby in it! I thought, how lovely, a fruit fly filled scoby! Honestly, the fruit flies and INSIDE the scoby!
My latest batch of kombucha and water kefir isn't doing anything. Too cold in my cabinets I think ... about 60 degrees ... and I can't think of anywhere in the house that's warmer. Of course, it being in the single digits outside doesn't help any even tho I keep the house around 70 degrees.
Not sure if they'll make it or not! Meanwhile, I'm drinking the store bought milk kefir every day for now!

I think it's the sugars and fruits Marci because it made the most sparkly kombucha in the frig, under 40 degrees.

This is a reply to # 1,739,725But is it REALLY true kombucha with the ferment and probiotics like 'regular' kombucha? Or is it just fermented fruit and sugar?

It's fermented alright. Better than any other ferment I've made, so I'm guessing it has all the benefits. It may have a different name, but the mushroom or scoby will work in fruit juice, in the refrigerator, to make a wonderfully fizzy, tangy drink. Fermented juice is probably more nutritious than fermented tea.
These scobies only made a few batches of kombucha the traditional way that tasted any good or were fizzy, so I don't now how long it will last, but they're big, plump, rubbery and prolific.
I'll keep trying different juices and post the results. Are you trying some?

That's neat about the fly catcher. There are many uses for kombucha, and you found a cool one.
Scobies will grow from store bought kombucha or even Brag's apple cider vinegar!

This is a reply to # 1,739,895I use Bragg's raw vinegar from the store all the time and I've never seen a scoby grow in the bottle, just the 'mother' that is there when I buy it.
I tossed one of my dehydrated scobies into some apple juice today and put it in the frig. I'll keep you posted!

Maybe try adding some more apple juice so it has a food source to grow.

MarciIn part. But keep in mind that raw cider vinegar is also a good source of B vitamins and minerals.
