Re: Honey From Kombuchaamerica.com

They say about 1 cup of honey per gallon of tea. I was thinking I could try blueberry juice or pomogrante juice concentrate as a Sugar sub. It sounds like reading from Kombchaamerica site that tea is just a flavoring part of the drink and the yeast lives off the sugar.

I tried two batches one doing the tea via hot brew then adding the honey and I also tried a cold brew adding the honey. The hot brew took off faster but the cold brew is starting to brew. They are both at room temp and I figure the second batch of the cold would be healthy since the honey was not distroyed by the heat of the water. The website said people have made both.

This kombucha is an intersting living thing.

I was wondering the kombucha being sold in the Wholefood stores says raw but wouldn't they have to pasteurize it? Tweet
