Kombucha Batch #26-01

updated 03/28/2026

March 2026

My last batch of Kombucha was ignored too long, and grew black mold. I toss the whole thing, including SCOBY. That was a while back, and the “kombucha bug” bit me again. I received my new SCOBY today.

I’m using the same ratios as I did with the June 2024 batch:

• 4 Tbsp Lychee Black Tea
• 1 liters boiling water

Let steep 15 minutes. Drain the tea, stir in:

• 1 cup sugar

I immediately added enough ice to make nearly 2 liters, which I stirred every 10 minutes until the ice was melted. Poured it into the gallon jug, added the SCOBY, and enough water to fill the jug.
