HI, My name is Arlene and welcome to
kombucha time usually I go on a rant
about how much I love kombucha but today
I'm going to show you how to make your
Scoby so you can make your own kombucha at
home. It's gonna be real simple and easy
at least I think it is, it's gonna be my
first time doing it so hopefully we can
get it done my mother-in-law gave me her
recipe and I'm so happy she typed it up
and sent it to me all the way from
Russia so thank you mama and I'm gonna
show you exactly what you need like I
said I've never done this before so
hopefully we do it right we need one
liter of clear clear talked about we
need one liter of clean water then
you're going to need the kombucha the
original kombucha for this store I tried
to figure out how to do it without it
but they say you have to have the
original one I don't know how to make
Scoby without it at all and I've looked
online and everybody just says buy it
buy it buy it buy it buy it whatever
we're gonna buy it and I went and I did
that then we're gonna get a half a cup
of sugar 100 grams for you people out
there who don't know a half a cup is and
then we're gonna do some loose black tea or
you can do some tea bags a few tea bags
how strong you wanna you choose who
cares we're gonna do it we don't use
recipes around here we just do it. I'm lying
we use recipes 
then we're going to have a jar to put it
all in we're gonna take a cloth that's breathable. It's breathable.
and a rubber band to put around.
Now hopefully I showed you guys how to
do this right. If I don't then I'm sorry.  Watch somebody else's video. But I bet you
I'm gonna do this right and you're gonna
watch the whole thing so now I'm going
to take you onto the next steps
alright so the first step we're gonna do
is we're gonna boil the water now
because I am impatient and that I want
it to boil them on the pot I'm gonna put
it in the tea kettle and then we heat it
up this way or you can go ahead and you
can get a pot and you can heat it up
that way
now there's her way of doing it and then
there's other people way of doing it I'm
gonna do it my way my way is heating up
the water into the kettle a little bit
max on what it should be then I'm going
to turn on the eye right now and get it
all nice and hot so we can heat up the
pot and we're gonna wait for this boil
over and while that's heating up
I am going to heat up the rest of the water thats in here
i can just use this for my kombucha. Whatever, I don't know
and we're gonna make a syrup through
this until we make it a little bit
syrupy
so we can dissolve the sugar
so next we're going to add the one water
end to our tea so we're gonna let this
steep for a few hours and let it get
cool to room temperature and then we'll
come back to it okay
now that your teeny it's at room
temperature what we're gonna do is
you're gonna have the original raw
kombucha into our mixture here so bubbly
so let it so we're gonna have the whole
thing and even the stuff at the bottom
is good for it the whole thing so make
sure you cover it put your fan on and
then we're going to store this in a cool
dry place preferably and maybe like a
cupboard and leave it there for a few
days and see that the scoby is actually
forming and maybe in about 4 weeks
you'll have a fully formed sculpey and
then you'll have a skully that's gonna
last you for a couple years and you can
use it to make your kombucha so yeah
tune in for next video and see how
everything turns out
