[Jump to recipe](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe#recipe) [Watch video](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe#video)  Prep 30 minutes  Cook 12-20 days  Serves 10 people  Share & Save [](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe)[](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe)[](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe)[](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-homemade-kombucha-recipe)  ## Ingredients - 3 quarts of water (2700ml) - 1 cup of sugar (228g) - 8 black tea bags - 2 cups of kombucha starter - *2 Tbsp of vinegar if you don't have starter* - Scobie - 1 gallon jar - 2 flip top bottles - 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries - 2 Tbsp simple syrup - 4 tsp rose water ## Directions 1. Heat water up in a pot until it is steamy. Do not boil. Add in sugar, stirring to dissolve. Turn off heat and drop in tea bags. 2. Steep in water for 4 minutes. Once done, remove tea bags. Let cool to room temperature. 3. Take tea and pour into a gallon sized jar. Add in starter (or 2 tablespoons of vinegar if you don’t have a starter). 4. Gently lay in your scobie so it lays flat on the surface. Cover with a cloth that will allow it to breath, but won’t allow anything inside. Situate with a rubber band. 5. Leave in a dark part of your house at room temperature for about 12-15 days. Make sure to label with the date you started. **Second Ferment:** 1. Remove scobie and reserve 2 cups of starter for your next batch. 2. Fill each bottle with ½ cup of strawberries, 1 tablespoon of rose water and 2 teaspoons of rose water. 3. Fill both bottles with kombucha. Leaving at least 1 inch of space at the top. Do not fill them all the way to the brim. Add flip tops and lock. 4. Leave bottles in a dark part of your house at room temperature for about 3-5 days. Release gas once a day by opening tops to avoid exploding. ## Other recipes [](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-japanese-and-korean-noodle-recipes) [Japanese Style Noodles Vs.
