kombucha
MATERIALS NEEDED:
per table
500 ml boiled water
Kombucha colony
bags of black tea
thermometer
weight balance
1 kind of sugar
plastic container and lid
AFTER INCUBATION: weight balance and pH meter
THE PROCEDURE:
Make tea using 1 black tea bag (~5 grams), 40 grams of white sugar, and 500ml of distilled water.
Heat the water, to boiling, to infuse the tea leaves.
Cool to room temperature (25 degrees C) if boiled water is used. IF using distilled water, you might want to heat it a bit so that the sugar and tea will go into solution better
Weigh out 20 grams of the Kombucha colony.
Add the Kombucha colony and 50ml (3-4 Tbs.) of previously prepared Kombucha tea to a plastic container with a lid. this will give a final sugar concentration of about 7.5%.
Cover the container with the lid (loosely) to keep out insects and air-borne contaminants.
Place it on the porcelain tray in the front of the room. The cultures will incubate at room temperature in the back.
Let it ferment for about 8-10 days.
