Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing my Beginner Guide to Kombucha Making. This is a full length class perfect for those new to making kombucha or those who need help diagnosing problems. Love, Mary🤗🤗🤗
Well I can't get the hang of that scoby thing, and I nearly choked to death on it the other day when I drunk too much. Anyway, I'm trying out worm-tea now and even though it does seem a bit cruel, I must persevere to improve my health :)
When making your first batch the process will produce a scoby so you don't need to buy one. The scoby will continue to grow with each batch that you make. My first batch I made the black tea added the sugar let it cool to room temperature added 1/2 cup of store bought kombucha and covered the jar and over the ten days it produced a scoby that I am still using.
Absolutely. Adjust the number of tea bags, sugar and water to make the ratios the same. Make sure the opening of the jar is a bit wide offering more surface area.
@@warmwater79 hi thank you for replying... Just have one more question... I've got it in two smaller containers and covered it with a coffee filter... Is that ok?
For those that don't know, you can set a cup of store bought Kombucha aside in a clean jar and it will make a scoby or you can just use the store bought raw kombucha (plain) and add to mixture of tea and sugar and a scoby will form. Date your ferment so you know when it's ready and if you have multiple jars going. I make mine in a three gallon jar and just triple the recipe. Green tea can be used right from the start at 1/4 of the recipe I believe. The layers of scoby that form on the top can be separated to make more jars or given to friends. It needs a warm area to ferment so in my house we have to use a seedling heated pad to help it ferment in the winter. Suggestion- do second ferments in a quart jar and if want to bottle, strain and bottle, it will still ferment and doesn't make it hard to clean the smaller bottles. Cherry is a fantastic second ferment, frozen works well. It is best to boil the water longer to get rid of the chlorine and sterilize the water, you can let it cool a little before making the tea.
Hey sweet Mary, I just wanted to give you a praise report. I finally made a batch of Kombucha. I put it in jars and it has set out for a day. I had some today and my goodness. It is wonderful. I am so excited about finally getting something right. I am so trying to learn about other fermentation. I just want to get well and I will use the wisdom The Lord gave you and I will use and eat what He gave us and I will let my body heal itself. I can't thank you enough for your teachings. They are very good and easy to understand and easy to follow through. I just ask the Father to bless you above and beyond what you can ask or think. I send love to you and your family.
Oh surely! I am so so happy to hear this. Thank you so much for getting back to me! Keep me posted as you continue on your traditional food journey! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I made this for years and all my family loves it. I quit making it for a few years and had to re-start it. I actually used a store bought kombucha to start it. First, look for original kombucha not ginger or other flavors. Next, look for any bottles that have a little "mother' or strains of solids in it. This is the remains of the original scobie. Decant it into a larger glass jar, a quart to start, and mix it until it looses all it's fizz. Then add a couple cups of tea with 1/4th cup of sugar and top with a coffee filter and rubber band. In about three days I pour out most of the kombucha and do it again. I will have a good start to the scobie by then. Another week and I will have a strong thick scobie to make a gallon with. So even if you can not find a human source for your scobie, grow your own from a store bought brand. And good luck! As an add-on... If your family really takes to this drink, it is a better alternative to soda pop or sweetened juices. Get 6 large gallon jars and one glass decanter with a pour spout. Each day make a batch, on the 7th day of each batch, pour the batch into the decanter and put it into the fridge. Use the jar with the scobie to make another batch. We used the whole gallon each day in our machine shop in the desert especially in the summer. In the winter I dropped it down to a half gallon and for my self alone now, i will still have a full week's worth of batches going in quart jars.
From my reading it is really hard to find live kombucha to grow a scoby since (as of a few years ago) they flash cook it or something to stop the alcohol content from growing
@@ciannacoleman5125 Have done it three times now with store bought of 3 different brands. It does not take much to start it from these bottles, Find the one with the most sediment in it. (there will be VERY little!) It will grow once it is let out of its confinement and fed. REALLY! Maybe the folks you are reading from have not actually tried it. I know the first time I tried this I thought I was throwing away my money on an expensive bottle of stuff that I would not be able to do anything with. And when i opened it and found out how fizzy it was i thought it might not even be kombucha. I tried drizzling a bit of sugar into it and it erupted with tons of fizzy slop running out of the bottle. That is when i decanted it into a larger jar and stirred the heck out of it before adding some more sugar and some tea. From then on it was just a matter of waiting for my little floating 'mushroom' to develop. Be brave, try it! Then it just takes patience.
I'm on day 3 and have silt in the bottom ..? Used black and green tea and organic sugar I use Alexa pure filtered water.. Am I ok or should I make more sugar tea to add?? Please help oh I used GTS I think with the silty bottom..
Thanks for posting this video. My daughter gave me a scoby for Christmas and I have looked up videos on how to make kombucha but they are all so confusing and more advanced than I need and want. You cover everything and you speak slowly and in a way that the average layperson can understand. Thank you so much and God bless you!

I've been "binge watching" your vids. Just found your channel today. Awesome explanations. Now to get back into making kombucha... I have a 2 year+ old scoby I have had stored in a mason jar in my cupboard. It still looks awesome! I started with a scoby that grew in a bottle of kombucha I did not finish. I just left it sitting in the corner of my counter out of the light. It was plain kombucha and it grew a perfect little scoby. Brand of kombucha was "Synergy" in case anyone reads this and is wondering. Awesome work Mary, looking forward to watching more vids.
This is the best video I have found for making Kombucha as a beginner. I am so happy to have found your channel. You explain everything so well and each time I had a question you answered it. Amazing video!
You can make your tea as a concentrate (one quart, say) and then pour cold water over it. The advantage to this is that it speeds up the process so that you don't have to wait for a gallon of boiling water to cool before you add the starter liquid.
Love this video! Thank you so much! I have questions! 1) If I want to make batches, one after another. Can I use the original SCOBY right away and save the new SCOBY for the 7 days? 2) Regarding the SCOBY hotel: Should the container (with 2 C tea/new scoby) be with limited air space and airtight? 3) If airtight, does it need to be burped? 4) How long will the SCOBY hotel remain usable if it's not used in 7 days? 5) For the 2nd fermentation/fruit addition: Is there any reason why I can't add the fruit directly to the "mother" jar and them stir/pour into bottles? Thank you again!
Clean Eating Kitchen - Hi Carrie!! Thanks for visiting!! So happy you found this helpful! You’ll be an expert kombucha maker before you know it! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I use my drip coffee maker half full of water to brew the tea & then I add cool water to jar with sugar , add the kombucha starter liquid & the scovie. Works wonderful for me as never had a problem🐾💕I like simple
I started my first batch of kombucha today, from a scoby my daughter gave me. I am excited to learn a new skill. I ccan’t wait to flavor it in the second ferment
Hi Mary, thank you for the video, very helpful! I do have a question, once my first fermentation is finished, if I don't like fizz drinks, can I just put fruit in a bottle, add kombucha, add a cover and put the bottle in the refrigerator? Thanks

I was just about to post in a group I’m in to see if I can get a Kombucha recipe and paused to think, “Let me see if Marys Nest has a video on that, cause she knows ferments.” And found this! I just want to say, You’re the best! My mother in-love and I appreciate and love watching your videos! We are learning so much and you make it so simple and exciting! -Blessings
I used your printable recipe. You might want to add that the tea needs to cool down before adding the starter tea and SCOBY (on the printable recipe). Also, it didn't specify how much starter tea (2 cups) to use. I made a couple of batches and it is wonderful. My strawberry batch ended up very carbonated after5 days. I am ready to try my raspberry ginger batchtoday. I'm excited. Thank you for this easy to follow method.
Thank you... I thought I had to wait for sweet to be gone🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ And made another ferment too soon not letting it sit in 2 Cups for the 7 days🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️Am trying again... thanks so much... 🙋🏻♀️
Mary I have two questions, when Scoby is sitting in its hotel does it need to be covered? How long can it stay good in the hotel if your not using it? Thanks can’t wait to make some. Cricket
Hi Mary I made my first kombucha and love the flavor and health benefits. Question- I will make be making a new batch in 10 days. Should I add the old scoby or the new one to my next batch?
You can make your own SCOBY by making two quarts of Black Tea (8 cups water, 8 teabags or 8 TBS loose tea). Stir in 1/2 cup of sugar while still warm. Cool to room temperature, strain if using tea leaves. Pour into container you are using. Add 1/2 bottle store bought Kombucha with no flavor (original). Cover with cloth or coffee filter using rubber band to keep in place. Put in pantry or leave on counter out of direct sunlight fo about 30 days or more until a SCOBY forms and is 1/4 “ thick.
So happy to meet you, Mary! You are so sweet and genuine. This tutorial was like learning from a beloved family member❤️. My mom gave me a scoby, and my first batch of kombucha is on day 4. So I'm learning all I can from her and UA-cam videos!
I love this tutorial on Kombucha! Years ago I used to make it, but now I know why it just never tasted very good. I always used to press the tea bags against the inside of the jar before removing the tea bags....and you are so right on with advising not to do this....I wish I would have known. Would you happen to be able to advise a source that i can buy scoby? I always like to buy from recommendations. Sadly, none of my friends like kombucha. Thank you again for all the great information, and also thank you in advance for any information on a good source for buying scoby. Bountiful and Boundless Blessings to you and your family always.

I made my first kambocha and grew my very first scobby!! I drank it and it was so good, It sure beats the store bought. Next it will be with fruit and different ingredients, just wanted to master the basics first. My energy level went up as soon as I drank it. What a potion! I left mine for 2 weeks + so it's nice and tangy with right amount of sweet. I substituted agavi instead of Cain sugar for health reasons. Thank you very much, I loved your video the best. 💓
The swing top bottle I use is from Sprouts. They sell these citrus-flavored beverages that are carbonated. I feel confident and have used them for several years to make my second fermented kombucha. I drink the flavored lemon drinks and then reuse the bottles to do my second ferments, and store my kombuchas
I've just made my first batch of kombucha and used honey instead of sugar. It worked perfectly. Apparently it's best not to use raw as the raw honey enzymes can interfere with the kombucha; but as I put it into hot water it's no longer raw. My second ferment is currently brewing with dried edible rose petals and lemon. I am excited to try it!
Hello Lovely Lady, Regarding the second fermentation, why must one bottle? Is it okay to put the blue berry purée into my original fermentation jar give it a good stir, set it out for 3 or 4/days and then fridge? This way I can pour out a glass when I am ready and not have all the bottles in the fridge. Please advise and thank you so much for teaching this. You have saved me much money!
What brand of Starter is best to purchase? I want to give this a try. Mary, I absolutely love your presentations. You are an awesome instructor. I wish I'd learned about you years ago, as I am getting up in age.
Hi MARY,😀 congratulations,👍 great kombucha👍 tutorial, I've been making kombucha for The Last👍 5 Years, I do use the swing top bottles for the second fermentation, I never have one break😀 on me, I did buy good quality bottles, I bought four one gallon glass container with a spigot and I make a batch every Saturday, my first fermentation I let it go for approximately 12 days on an average of 77 degrees Fahrenheit, my next door neighbor has 🐔chickens in his yard so I feed my scobys to his chickens, of course I always maintain 2 or 3 scobys in my scoby Hotel, for insurance😜. GOD🙏🙏BLESS YOU. EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸
Q-scoby hotel? Do you cover it? If so, with what? How long will the scoby hotel last if I don't use it in 7 days? Love ur vids; you are so thorough. ThanQ
I have watched this video so many times, I keep wanting to like it multiple times but UA-cam wont allow me to, so I just wanted to say thanks Mary for making such a great video!

Thank you Mary, this was extremely helpful! Just one more thing please, do I need to cover the bowl containing the scoby , or what you call the hotel? Thanks 😊
Thanks so much for this very detailed video. As a scientific type, I really want to understand the total picture and the whys to go along with the how to information. I feel equipped to give this a try!😀

This is the best guide I've found. I was looking for an explanation of what to do if I have a scoby but no kombucha for the first time. I will follow this recipe. Thank you
Hi. Thank you for all the information. I just started a batch of pineapple/orange vinegar and also kombucha. Question: for the scoby hotel - do you put a lid on the jar or do you still use the cloth?
Hi Mary! Thanks for all great tips. You explained it so well. I have made Kombucha before. You supplied so much I hadn’t heard. Thank you so much for your kind videos! ❤️🙏👌
I heard you answer the question about using non-caloric sweeteners in your kombucha. I also heard you say to use natural sugars. Pure Stevia is a natural sugar and noncaloric. Have you researched this particular product. Alternately, could I use a combination of Stevia and cane sugar? Does lengthening the ferment duration reduce the sugar content? Thanks! I would like to make homemade Gingerale also so the use of Stevia at least in the Gingerale would be most beneficial for me.

Best video hands down. Quick question. Can I create the hotel in the same big jar that I pured the previous kombucha out of? Or do I have to re wash it when I go to make a new batch
If you don't have starter tea you can also buy bottles of organic plain kombucha (enough to make at least 2 cups). These also contain small bits of scoby which will boost the batch. This is a much better substitute than vinegar.
@@MarysNest I am enjoying your videos so much! You are so fun to watch and make everything sound so appealing. 🥰 Kombucha is the only fermented food I know how to make so your channel is a treasure trove! I can't wait to try your 12 hr. Bone Broth. I have always been put off by the 48 hr instructions, what bones, etc. By the way, one more Kombucha trick. You can grow your own scoby from the store bottles. They must be plain organic and it takes 2-3 of the small bottles. It takes 6-8 weeks but it makes nice healthy scobys.
Hi Mary. GREAT tutorial, thank you. I would like to know what is your opinion on pureing the strawberry (or other fruit) with a Medjool date for sweetness?
I grew my very first scoby. I’m brewing the sweet tea today for my second batch. Im so excited but a little confused. I bought the bottles to bottle them up and want to flavor them. Can I use a real mango juice? If so, how much should I add to the swing top bottles? (I wish I knew about the problems with exploding before I bought them) Thx Mary you’re the best! 🙏🏻❤️
Rooibos from South Africa is an extremely good additive to the teabags and honeybush as well. Both are naturally grown and used as teas in SA and actually wide over the world. It contains a lot of very good minerals, etc, but will not inhibit the combucha or harm the scoby.
I have a scoby hotel I have had it since June. Check it once a week. I have not made any kombuchas from it yet but have accumulated multiple scobies from it.. today I am preparing to make some kombuchas I am confused about the scoby hotel mixture. Can I used that hotel mixture which will be 2 cups from it for this process and add more sweet tea or kombuchas to the hotel? or is it safe to drink that since it’s been sitting for three months? ALL THE SCOBIES LOOKS HEATHY if I use it.. it will have to set 14 mores days to ferment after adding the black tea mixture or should I just take a scoby from the hotel and add it to my freshly made tea mixture? Should you change your hotel mixture Periodically adding fresh sweet tea or raw kombuchas? Thank you so much you are a blessing ❤
SCOBIES are known to have different personalities. Sharing SCOBIES is fun by peeling them apart. Brewing temp makes all the difference. Brew that never got warm enough will make a vinegar taste. Never use metal products on your SCOBIE, metal spoon ECT.
Thank you for a terrific video. Your instructions are precise and clear. I am starting my first batch today. Question: should I only bottle up one second ferment at a time and just leave the gallon at room temp, or should I bottle up all of that gallon at once for the second ferment?
I remember making mom Cuba the second time and using a small amount of white vinegar to bring up the acidity. After that, I never had a problem with my starter again. For my 2 nd ferment, I added fresh ginger, English lavender and chamomile. Such a wonderful flavor. Thank you Mary for teaching everyone to make this wonderfu! probiotics drink.
Are you referring to after you bottle the kombucha? You could try it but I'm not sure how it would work out. Just be careful. I worry about the bottles breaking. Love, Mary
Hi Mary, Thanks for such an awesome video! Just wondering about the cloth you use for covering the jar. Is it just a normal tight-woven cloth or can we use a porous cheesecloth or muslin? In any case does the cloth have to be porous to allow any gas to escape? Thank you!
Great question. Yes, it’s just a normal weight scrap of cloth. But I think cheesecloth would work fine too. It’s just a matter of allowing air to get in while at the same time keeping out dust.

That’s a Vinegar mother and unfortunately it’s different than a kombucha SCOBY. You actually don’t need the mother to start a new batch of vinegar, but you can certainly use it if you want. But some people will cut it up and dehydrated to make a vinegar mother jerky. Other people will cut it up and throw it in their compost heap. Love, Mary.
Dear Mary, I love your channel!!! I enjoyed this video as I do them all. Did you know you can start kombucha using an unpasteurized store-bought kombucha, like GTs? Just put it in a jar with half starter tea, half kombucha and cover it with a cloth. It will take two weeks but you will grow a scoby without needing to buy one, which is good as sometimes people charge a lot of money for the scoby.
You are such a good teacher and always so bright and cheerful. While all the other channels are talking about the current doom and gloom, I know I can come here and feel better.
Thank you for sharing. I just harvested my first kombucha when I found your video. I removed the scoby with a metal fork to new brewed tea before I poured the kombucha into botles. I hope I did not destroy the scoby.

Hi Mary! Thank you so much for teaching me how to make Kombucha! Just a quick question about your video…you used regular size teabags for your brew, right? Not the family sized? Thank you again for your brilliant teachings❤️
I have been making kombucha for many years now and never use teabags because i notice the quality of the tea does not match the quality of loose tea. I also use a jar with a tap on it because that way you can check the kombucha without disturbing the scoby or breaking the cleanliness of the cover. You must clean the tap between each batch though as the SCOBY can grow inside the tap. I dry my scoby and give it to my dog. Either way good video.

I've been putting off making kombucha because other tutorial videos are overwhelming and just leave me with more questions. This beginner's guide has just given me the confidence to start! Thank you! 💚💚💚 Question: is it ok to use plastic containers/jug (like nalgene bottles) for the 2nd fermentation? Or maybe use metal bottles since the scoby is no longer in it anyway?
I am sp glad you said that we could make a mix of flavors since I decided to make my own, I've had my heart set on a ginger raspberry, with a squeeze of lemon, and of all, I've seen or read, you're the first to say that!, I was worried the acid in the lemon would hurt the SCOBY, so helpful, Mary, you are wonderful!
I ordered my Scoby and jar on Amazon after watching your video. I tried to make it once before but failed. I’m determined to make it. I loved your video.
Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing my Beginner Guide to Kombucha Making. This is a full length class perfect for those new to making kombucha or those who need help diagnosing problems. Love, Mary🤗🤗🤗
Hey maam thank lot 💞Maam I dont want to put any fruits? its completely fine?
Nida Khan - Definitely 🤗
Well I can't get the hang of that scoby thing, and I nearly choked to death on it the other day when I drunk too much. Anyway, I'm trying out worm-tea now and even though it does seem a bit cruel, I must persevere to improve my health :)
Hi there, there's no way for me to get scoby......is there a way for me to make combucha? I am watching you from Iran
Very comprehensive and covers all the important details.
When making your first batch the process will produce a scoby so you don't need to buy one. The scoby will continue to grow with each batch that you make. My first batch I made the black tea added the sugar let it cool to room temperature added 1/2 cup of store bought kombucha and covered the jar and over the ten days it produced a scoby that I am still using.
What brand did you use
@@wendyburston3132 GT'S Organic Raw Kombucha Plain, no flavor
Can I make half the amount? My container is too small
Absolutely. Adjust the number of tea bags, sugar and water to make the ratios the same. Make sure the opening of the jar is a bit wide offering more surface area.
@@warmwater79 hi thank you for replying... Just have one more question... I've got it in two smaller containers and covered it with a coffee filter... Is that ok?
For those that don't know, you can set a cup of store bought Kombucha aside in a clean jar and it will make a scoby or you can just use the store bought raw kombucha (plain) and add to mixture of tea and sugar and a scoby will form. Date your ferment so you know when it's ready and if you have multiple jars going. I make mine in a three gallon jar and just triple the recipe. Green tea can be used right from the start at 1/4 of the recipe I believe. The layers of scoby that form on the top can be separated to make more jars or given to friends. It needs a warm area to ferment so in my house we have to use a seedling heated pad to help it ferment in the winter. Suggestion- do second ferments in a quart jar and if want to bottle, strain and bottle, it will still ferment and doesn't make it hard to clean the smaller bottles. Cherry is a fantastic second ferment, frozen works well. It is best to boil the water longer to get rid of the chlorine and sterilize the water, you can let it cool a little before making the tea.
Yes yes and yes for only bottling strained kombucha. Not easy washing the bottles from the fruit leftovers.
I never use tap water,well water ,or distilled
Hey sweet Mary, I just wanted to give you a praise report. I finally made a batch of Kombucha. I put it in jars and it has set out for a day. I had some today and my goodness. It is wonderful. I am so excited about finally getting something right. I am so trying to learn about other fermentation. I just want to get well and I will use the wisdom The Lord gave you and I will use and eat what He gave us and I will let my body heal itself. I can't thank you enough for your teachings. They are very good and easy to understand and easy to follow through. I just ask the Father to bless you above and beyond what you can ask or think. I send love to you and your family.
Oh surely! I am so so happy to hear this. Thank you so much for getting back to me! Keep me posted as you continue on your traditional food journey! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

I made this for years and all my family loves it. I quit making it for a few years and had to re-start it. I actually used a store bought kombucha to start it. First, look for original kombucha not ginger or other flavors. Next, look for any bottles that have a little "mother' or strains of solids in it. This is the remains of the original scobie. Decant it into a larger glass jar, a quart to start, and mix it until it looses all it's fizz. Then add a couple cups of tea with 1/4th cup of sugar and top with a coffee filter and rubber band. In about three days I pour out most of the kombucha and do it again. I will have a good start to the scobie by then. Another week and I will have a strong thick scobie to make a gallon with. So even if you can not find a human source for your scobie, grow your own from a store bought brand. And good luck!
As an add-on... If your family really takes to this drink, it is a better alternative to soda pop or sweetened juices. Get 6 large gallon jars and one glass decanter with a pour spout. Each day make a batch, on the 7th day of each batch, pour the batch into the decanter and put it into the fridge. Use the jar with the scobie to make another batch. We used the whole gallon each day in our machine shop in the desert especially in the summer. In the winter I dropped it down to a half gallon and for my self alone now, i will still have a full week's worth of batches going in quart jars.
From my reading it is really hard to find live kombucha to grow a scoby since (as of a few years ago) they flash cook it or something to stop the alcohol content from growing
@@ciannacoleman5125 Have done it three times now with store bought of 3 different brands. It does not take much to start it from these bottles, Find the one with the most sediment in it. (there will be VERY little!) It will grow once it is let out of its confinement and fed. REALLY! Maybe the folks you are reading from have not actually tried it. I know the first time I tried this I thought I was throwing away my money on an expensive bottle of stuff that I would not be able to do anything with. And when i opened it and found out how fizzy it was i thought it might not even be kombucha. I tried drizzling a bit of sugar into it and it erupted with tons of fizzy slop running out of the bottle. That is when i decanted it into a larger jar and stirred the heck out of it before adding some more sugar and some tea. From then on it was just a matter of waiting for my little floating 'mushroom' to develop. Be brave, try it! Then it just takes patience.
yes, you want unflavored, unfiltered kombucha to start with
I buy a bottle of GTs plain kombucha, put that In a bigger jar with cotton covering.. wait 9 days.. bam..SCOBY.
I'm on day 3 and have silt in the bottom ..? Used black and green tea and organic sugar I use Alexa pure filtered water.. Am I ok or should I make more sugar tea to add?? Please help oh I used GTS I think with the silty bottom..
Thanks for posting this video. My daughter gave me a scoby for Christmas and I have looked up videos on how to make kombucha but they are all so confusing and more advanced than I need and want. You cover everything and you speak slowly and in a way that the average layperson can understand. Thank you so much and God bless you!

You do such a good job of explaining things clearly and thoroughly without talking to slow or going off topic
Thanks for the. Information,but how u make the sconce?
Thanks for great explanation. I will try it this weekend
I've been "binge watching" your vids. Just found your channel today. Awesome explanations. Now to get back into making kombucha... I have a 2 year+ old scoby I have had stored in a mason jar in my cupboard. It still looks awesome! I started with a scoby that grew in a bottle of kombucha I did not finish. I just left it sitting in the corner of my counter out of the light. It was plain kombucha and it grew a perfect little scoby. Brand of kombucha was "Synergy" in case anyone reads this and is wondering.
Awesome work Mary, looking forward to watching more vids.
Welcome!! So glad you’re here!! Love, Mary
This is the best video I have found for making Kombucha as a beginner. I am so happy to have found your channel. You explain everything so well and each time I had a question you answered it. Amazing video!
You can make your tea as a concentrate (one quart, say) and then pour cold water over it. The advantage to this is that it speeds up the process so that you don't have to wait for a gallon of boiling water to cool before you add the starter liquid.
And you don’t have to boil a whole gallon of water.
I started with Rooibos tea due to a caffeine allergy. Works incredibly well and flavors really well.
Thats really good to know! I'm south African and love my rooibos
I made my first batch, I used lemon flavoured green tea....it tastes great! Also from South africa
Love this video! Thank you so much! I have questions!
1) If I want to make batches, one after another. Can I use the original SCOBY right away and save the new SCOBY for the 7 days?
2) Regarding the SCOBY hotel: Should the container (with 2 C tea/new scoby) be with limited air space and airtight?
3) If airtight, does it need to be burped?
4) How long will the SCOBY hotel remain usable if it's not used in 7 days?
5) For the 2nd fermentation/fruit addition: Is there any reason why I can't add the fruit directly to the "mother" jar and them stir/pour into bottles?
Thank you again!
This is so helpful, Mary! I have always been scared of making my own kombucha, but now I feel much more confident. Thank you for this!!! XO.

I just love how clearly you explain things. I’m super excited to try it and not nervous anymore! Thanks Sweet Mary ❤️
Hi! Does the Scoby has to be preserved (when not in use) in a jar with a lid on or a mesh like when it’s fermenting the tea ? Thanks for the great vid
I use my drip coffee maker half full of water to brew the tea & then I add cool water to jar with sugar , add the kombucha starter liquid & the scovie. Works wonderful for me as never had a problem🐾💕I like simple
I started my first batch of kombucha today, from a scoby my daughter gave me. I am excited to learn a new skill. I ccan’t wait to flavor it in the second ferment
Hi Mary, thank you for the video, very helpful! I do have a question, once my first fermentation is finished, if I don't like fizz drinks, can I just put fruit in a bottle, add kombucha, add a cover and put the bottle in the refrigerator? Thanks
I just started my brew yesterday and am happy I'm starting off correctly. Thanks for sharing!
Best kombucha guide ever made! You hit all the points! Well done!
This was the most informative scoby video I've watched. I'm going to reattempt a Kombucha brew. Thank you Mary!

I just want to say, You’re the best! My mother in-love and I appreciate and love watching your videos! We are learning so much and you make it so simple and exciting!
-Blessings
It’s so nice that you call us “sweet friends”; I love your kind voice and your videos! That scoby hotel is so cute!
I used your printable recipe. You might want to add that the tea needs to cool down before adding the starter tea and SCOBY (on the printable recipe). Also, it didn't specify how much starter tea (2 cups) to use. I made a couple of batches and it is wonderful. My strawberry batch ended up very carbonated after5 days. I am ready to try my raspberry ginger batchtoday. I'm excited. Thank you for this easy to follow method.
Thank you... I thought I had to wait for sweet to be gone🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
And made another ferment too soon not letting it sit in 2 Cups for the 7 days🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️Am trying again... thanks so much... 🙋🏻♀️
Mary I have two questions, when Scoby is sitting in its hotel does it need to be covered? How long can it stay good in the hotel if your not using it?
Thanks can’t wait to make some.
Cricket
Thank you soooo much for all your tips!! You really made my preparation for homemade kombucha smooth and fine❤
Hi Mary I made my first kombucha and love the flavor and health benefits. Question- I will make be making a new batch in 10 days. Should I add the old scoby or the new one to my next batch?
You can make your own SCOBY by making two quarts of Black Tea (8 cups water, 8 teabags or 8 TBS loose tea). Stir in 1/2 cup of sugar while still warm. Cool to room temperature, strain if using tea leaves. Pour into container you are using. Add 1/2 bottle store bought Kombucha with no flavor (original). Cover with cloth or coffee filter using rubber band to keep in place. Put in pantry or leave on counter out of direct sunlight fo about 30 days or more until a SCOBY forms and is 1/4 “ thick.
So happy to meet you, Mary! You are so sweet and genuine. This tutorial was like learning from a beloved family member❤️. My mom gave me a scoby, and my first batch of kombucha is on day 4. So I'm learning all I can from her and UA-cam videos!
Reviewed this video and loved being refreshed! I’ve been steeping tea too long and squeeze the bags 😳. Good to see your video again!
I love this tutorial on Kombucha! Years ago I used to make it, but now I know why it just never tasted very good. I always used to press the tea bags against the inside of the jar before removing the tea bags....and you are so right on with advising not to do this....I wish I would have known. Would you happen to be able to advise a source that i can buy scoby? I always like to buy from recommendations. Sadly, none of my friends like kombucha. Thank you again for all the great information, and also thank you in advance for any information on a good source for buying scoby. Bountiful and Boundless Blessings to you and your family always.
You are amazing explaining in details with such a calm!
I´m so glad i found you :)
Thank you for all of yore great videos, i love them all!
Nina
Love the way you explained. You explained very clearly. Thank you so much
Earl grey tea works very well, its naturally low in tannin. Tasts awsome and is lighter in colour.

I made my first kambocha and grew my very first scobby!! I drank it and it was so good, It sure beats the store bought.
Next it will be with fruit and different ingredients, just wanted to master the basics first. My energy level went up as soon as I drank it. What a potion!
I left mine for 2 weeks + so it's nice and tangy with right amount of sweet. I substituted agavi instead of Cain sugar for health reasons.
Thank you very much, I loved your video the best. 💓
The swing top bottle I use is from Sprouts. They sell these citrus-flavored beverages that are carbonated. I feel confident and have used them for several years to make my second fermented kombucha. I drink the flavored lemon drinks and then reuse the bottles to do my second ferments, and store my kombuchas
I've just made my first batch of kombucha and used honey instead of sugar. It worked perfectly. Apparently it's best not to use raw as the raw honey enzymes can interfere with the kombucha; but as I put it into hot water it's no longer raw. My second ferment is currently brewing with dried edible rose petals and lemon. I am excited to try it!
How did it turn out?
@@richieboy6825 Friggin delicious. I highly recommend rose petals and lemon. I have tried other combos but nothing beats that one!
Hello Lovely Lady, Regarding the second fermentation, why must one bottle? Is it okay to put the blue berry purée into my original fermentation jar give it a good stir, set it out for 3 or 4/days and then fridge? This way I can pour out a glass when I am ready and not have all the bottles in the fridge. Please advise and thank you so much for teaching this. You have saved me much money!
Hi Anne, I think that should be fine to do. I have not tried it but please experiment and keep me posted. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Your presentation is really very clear thanks.
I live in Vancouver from where can l get Scoby&Kafir flowers to start my project
What brand of Starter is best to purchase? I want to give this a try. Mary, I absolutely love your presentations. You are an awesome instructor. I wish I'd learned about you years ago, as I am getting up in age.
Hi MARY,😀 congratulations,👍 great kombucha👍 tutorial, I've been making kombucha for The Last👍 5 Years, I do use the swing top bottles for the second fermentation, I never have one break😀 on me, I did buy good quality bottles, I bought four one gallon glass container with a spigot and I make a batch every Saturday, my first fermentation I let it go for approximately 12 days on an average of 77 degrees Fahrenheit, my next door neighbor has 🐔chickens in his yard so I feed my scobys to his chickens, of course I always maintain 2 or 3 scobys in my scoby Hotel, for insurance😜.
GOD🙏🙏BLESS YOU.
EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸
Eduardo Salcedo Sr: - Wow!! Eduardo, I am so impressed. And I love that you feed the scobys to your neighbors chickens!! Great idea!!🤗🤗🤗
Would love a scoby to try instead of those chickens gettung them😢
Q-scoby hotel? Do you cover it? If so, with what? How long will the scoby hotel last if I don't use it in 7 days? Love ur vids; you are so thorough. ThanQ
I have watched this video so many times, I keep wanting to like it multiple times but UA-cam wont allow me to, so I just wanted to say thanks Mary for making such a great video!

I made kombucha 2nd time, but I only had the Scooby from the 1st batch for 4 days before I used it again
Is it going to work?
I love the Lake Winnepesaukee and skiing in winter in NH!!
This is the best guide I've found. I was looking for an explanation of what to do if I have a scoby but no kombucha for the first time. I will follow this recipe. Thank you
Ooh ooh! Try the SCOBY jerky! I've made a kind of fruit leather but mostly I just toss some SCOBY into my smoothies.
Hi. Thank you for all the information. I just started a batch of pineapple/orange vinegar and also kombucha. Question: for the scoby hotel - do you put a lid on the jar or do you still use the cloth?
Hi Mary! Thanks for all great tips. You explained it so well. I have made Kombucha before. You supplied so much I hadn’t heard. Thank you so much for your kind videos! ❤️🙏👌
Hi Linda, Glad it was helpful! Love, Mary
I heard you answer the question about using non-caloric sweeteners in your kombucha. I also heard you say to use natural sugars. Pure Stevia is a natural sugar and noncaloric. Have you researched this particular product. Alternately, could I use a combination of Stevia and cane sugar? Does lengthening the ferment duration reduce the sugar content? Thanks! I would like to make homemade Gingerale also so the use of Stevia at least in the Gingerale would be most beneficial for me.
I love this detailed instructional video. I could listen to you all day.

I absolutely love watching her creat things.
This video is so informative and mary is the sweetest!
Thank you!!
Best video hands down. Quick question. Can I create the hotel in the same big jar that I pured the previous kombucha out of? Or do I have to re wash it when I go to make a new batch
30 secs in and I am already in love with this channel! I’m excited to see what else you have to offer! Great video - very informative ❤️
Thank you so much. I just made my first batch. Can I use frozen fruit for the second fermentation?
If you don't have starter tea you can also buy bottles of organic plain kombucha (enough to make at least 2 cups). These also contain small bits of scoby which will boost the batch. This is a much better substitute than vinegar.
Hi Gwen, Thank you so much for sharing. I love this idea. So glad you are here!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest I am enjoying your videos so much! You are so fun to watch and make everything sound so appealing. 🥰
Kombucha is the only fermented food I know how to make so your channel is a treasure trove! I can't wait to try your 12 hr. Bone Broth. I have always been put off by the 48 hr instructions, what bones, etc.
By the way, one more Kombucha trick. You can grow your own scoby from the store bottles. They must be plain organic and it takes 2-3 of the small bottles. It takes 6-8 weeks but it makes nice healthy scobys.
Ю
Best video for making kombucha i have seen so far. Perfectly explained and very professional. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the informative video, Mary! I now feel super confident and comfortable in my upcoming Kombucha brewing endeavors!
.
Ю
Hi Mary. GREAT tutorial, thank you. I would like to know what is your opinion on pureing the strawberry (or other fruit) with a Medjool date for sweetness?
Good jop good work mody from Egypt
Thank you very much sweet lady....very nice n clear demonstration of kombucha making...God bless your channel..
Thank you so much!
MY APOLOGIES, I'M JUST NOT READY FOR THIS, BUT YOU STILL GET 👍🧙♂️🧙♀️
I grew my very first scoby. I’m brewing the sweet tea today for my second batch. Im so excited but a little confused. I bought the bottles to bottle them up and want to flavor them. Can I use a real mango juice? If so, how much should I add to the swing top bottles? (I wish I knew about the problems with exploding before I bought them) Thx Mary you’re the best! 🙏🏻❤️
The scoby looks like a dead jellyfish and I just learned about vinegar eels. I feel like I'm in a marine cooking class.
That's a very nice video but would you mind using also liters and grams? That would help me a lot ..
Rooibos from South Africa is an extremely good additive to the teabags and honeybush as well. Both are naturally grown and used as teas in SA and actually wide over the world. It contains a lot of very good minerals, etc, but will not inhibit the combucha or harm the scoby.
I just love Rooibos tea!
I have a scoby hotel I have had it since June. Check it once a week. I have not made any kombuchas from it yet but have accumulated multiple scobies from it.. today I am preparing to make some kombuchas I am confused about the scoby hotel mixture. Can I used that hotel mixture which will be 2 cups from it for this process and add more sweet tea or kombuchas to the hotel? or is it safe to drink that since it’s been sitting for three months? ALL THE SCOBIES LOOKS HEATHY if I use it.. it will have to set 14 mores days to ferment after adding the black tea mixture or should I just take a scoby from the hotel and add it to my freshly made tea mixture? Should you change your hotel mixture Periodically adding fresh sweet tea or raw kombuchas? Thank you so much you are a blessing ❤
SCOBIES are known to have different personalities. Sharing SCOBIES is fun by peeling them apart.
Brewing temp makes all the difference. Brew that never got warm enough will make a vinegar taste. Never use metal products on your SCOBIE, metal spoon ECT.
The longer you allow the kombucha to sit, the more vinegary it gets. The less it sits, the more sugary it is
Thank you for a terrific video. Your instructions are precise and clear. I am starting my first batch today. Question: should I only bottle up one second ferment at a time and just leave the gallon at room temp, or should I bottle up all of that gallon at once for the second ferment?
I remember making mom Cuba the second time and using a small amount of white vinegar to bring up the acidity. After that, I never had a problem with my starter again. For my 2 nd ferment, I added fresh ginger, English lavender and chamomile. Such a wonderful flavor. Thank you Mary for teaching everyone to make this wonderfu! probiotics drink.

Ъ
Just started my very first batch:) its in the corner of my room on the floor . Some one gave me a scobe and a cup of starter tea. Im so excited!!
Thank you Mary for responding. I'm going to buy a Scoby. Do you sell them ?
Amanda Sollid - So happy to help. I don’t sell SCOBYs but they are very easy to find on amazon. Keep me posted. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Be sure to get one that comes in liquid. Don’t get one that is dried out since they may not be viable since it is a bacteria colony
Hi Mary .Thankyou for video.I wonder if I could leave the lids loose and tighten them up after two days.
Are you referring to after you bottle the kombucha? You could try it but I'm not sure how it would work out. Just be careful. I worry about the bottles breaking. Love, Mary
Hi Mary,
Thanks for such an awesome video! Just wondering about the cloth you use for covering the jar. Is it just a normal tight-woven cloth or can we use a porous cheesecloth or muslin? In any case does the cloth have to be porous to allow any gas to escape? Thank you!
Great question. Yes, it’s just a normal weight scrap of cloth. But I think cheesecloth would work fine too. It’s just a matter of allowing air to get in while at the same time keeping out dust.

Mary is the SCOBY floating at the bottom of my organic ACVinegar useable in kombucha? If not, how do I use it?
~thank you with a huge 2023 hug~
That’s a Vinegar mother and unfortunately it’s different than a kombucha SCOBY. You actually don’t need the mother to start a new batch of vinegar, but you can certainly use it if you want. But some people will cut it up and dehydrated to make a vinegar mother jerky. Other people will cut it up and throw it in their compost heap. Love, Mary.
If Sookie from Gilmore Girls was a real person 🥺❤️
I’ve always been confused re adding flavorings so I’ve just omitted. Thanks, Mary!
Hihi im new. Im from rural wales🏴near the irish sea.
I like you.🌊🐳😁
Dear Mary, I love your channel!!! I enjoyed this video as I do them all. Did you know you can start kombucha using an unpasteurized store-bought kombucha, like GTs? Just put it in a jar with half starter tea, half kombucha and cover it with a cloth. It will take two weeks but you will grow a scoby without needing to buy one, which is good as sometimes people charge a lot of money for the scoby.
You are such a good teacher and always so bright and cheerful. While all the other channels are talking about the current doom and gloom, I know I can come here and feel better.
Thank you for sharing. I just harvested my first kombucha when I found your video. I removed the scoby with a metal fork to new brewed tea before I poured the kombucha into botles. I hope I did not destroy the scoby.
It’s so pleasant to look what you do !
Fantastic video so wel explained thank you!!
You can also start from scratch by making up your tea then pour a raw unflavored commercial kabutcha into the jar. May take longer but it works.

Loved watching how you made this. I'm an end stage renal patience. I have to ask doctors if this is something I can drink.
Hi Mary! Thank you so much for teaching me how to make Kombucha! Just a quick question about your video…you used regular size teabags for your brew, right? Not the family sized? Thank you again for your brilliant teachings❤️
Ъ
she didn’t answer! 💔😢💔
I have been making kombucha for many years now and never use teabags because i notice the quality of the tea does not match the quality of loose tea.
I also use a jar with a tap on it because that way you can check the kombucha without disturbing the scoby or breaking the cleanliness of the cover. You must clean the tap between each batch though as the SCOBY can grow inside the tap.
I dry my scoby and give it to my dog.
Either way good video.
So 8 tea bags 1 cup sugar and 2 quart water?
Be sure to check the recipe link in the description under the video. 🤗
You’re so pleasant to watch and the thoroughness is perfection. Ty! Subscribed

I've been putting off making kombucha because other tutorial videos are overwhelming and just leave me with more questions. This beginner's guide has just given me the confidence to start! Thank you! 💚💚💚
Question: is it ok to use plastic containers/jug (like nalgene bottles) for the 2nd fermentation? Or maybe use metal bottles since the scoby is no longer in it anyway?
Dr
You are such a good teacher! Thank you!
How long can you keep your scobie in the hotel, and do you ever feed it with sugar? I really enjoyed this video, it help answer all my question
I am sp glad you said that we could make a mix of flavors since I decided to make my own, I've had my heart set on a ginger raspberry, with a squeeze of lemon, and of all, I've seen or read, you're the first to say that!, I was worried the acid in the lemon would hurt the SCOBY, so helpful, Mary, you are wonderful!
I ordered my Scoby and jar on Amazon after watching your video. I tried to make it once before but failed. I’m determined to make it. I loved your video.
