Hello all,
A friend of mine brews Kombucha all the time and is very experienced with it. Recently, I tried it for the first time and loved it. Well the container that my friend had brought to work had a little Kombucha left in it (maybe 1/4 cup) and he told me that if I brewed some black tea, added about 9 tsp of sugar, dumped in the remaining 1/4 cup of old Kombucha, and covered it up, I would get my own.
So I tried it last night. I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning and saw cultures starting to form at the bottom of the pitcher and some starting to float to the top. My question is, will this method of making Kombucha work alright? I used no Scoby, nor did anyone donate their "mother" to me. I simply used about 1/4 cup of an existing Kombucha.
Sorry if it's a dumb Q, I just don't want anyone in the fam to get sick.
Cheers!
