Second Batch of Kombucha: Success!

I’m happy to report a successful batch of Kombucha! This batch I sweetened entirely with agave — 1 cup agave + 6 tea bags per gallon. I didn’t let it go too long so it is perfectly tangy and sweet and refreshing. Most all my jars produced fizzy tea! Yay! It tastes delicious and we are really enjoying it. Here it is, bottled up for drinking throughout the coming days. See those bubbles in the front jars?

Second Batch of Kombucha Tea

After speaking with my friend, who has the expertise of making and enjoying Kombucha for more than a year, I am concluding that I feel comfortable with my children drinking the tea. I also feel comfortable with the blood pressure lowering effects, to which my body is adjusting for the most part.

Today, I am starting new batches of Kombucha, amounting to 3 gallons, and I am sweetening them with half-honey and half-agave.
