You know, when I saw “Kombucha”, I broke down the word and just thought, “Oh, seaweed (kombu) tea (cha). So I probably expected to see some tea being brewed, steam from the heat and would have imagined the smell of seaweed. 😆
The process is very interesting. I didn’t even know that the SCOBY is actually also called “mushroom”. It really looks like one. Honestly, after seeing it, I did scroll back to see the title of your post to make sure we were still making tea. 😂
Still, I prefer jellyfish or mushroom. I want no “alien” in my kitchen or house as a matter of fact. 😂🤣
Not to go too off topic but do you think a bit about SCOOBY DOO when typing SCOBY? I wonder if he’s had kombucha. Lol!

I probably should have used the word "burst" instead of "explosion." Explosion makes it sound like your kitchen could blow up 😆. It's more like burst and make a mess.

Somehow I prefer “explosion” to “burst”. It adds more adventure and excitement to the process. Haha!
Nothing like good homemade tea.
Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 😃
