Ingredients: Every great kombucha recipe begins with quality ingredients. Here's what you'll need for traditional kombucha brewing:; PRIMARY INGREDIENTS FOR KOMBUCHA RECIPE; Organic Tea Blends: At Better Booch, we carefully craft unique tea blends for each flavor, combining high-quality organic teas with herbs and botanicals. For home brewing, you can start with black tea, green tea, or a combination. Use 6-8 tea bags or 3-4 tablespoons of loose leaf tea per gallon of water.; Filtered Water: Water quality is crucial for healthy kombucha fermentation. Use filtered water free from chlorine and chemicals that could harm the delicate fermentation process. You'll need 1 gallon for a standard batch.; Organic Cane Sugar: Sugar feeds the living cultures during fermentation. Use ¾ to 1 cup of organic cane sugar per gallon of tea. The fermentation process will consume most of this sugar.; Potent Starter Tea: This is the real secret to successful kombucha brewing – mature kombucha from a previous batch that contains living bacteria and yeast cultures. You'll need 1-2 cups of strong starter tea per gallon.
