#My first batch of Kombucha

Five days ago, I wrote a post on Brewing my own Kombucha. In that post, I just started the brew process, which takes about a week to complete. I left my Kombucha to brew for six days, before taking it out.

I poured it into a jug, just look how inviting and refreshing it looks, with all those bubbles forming!!

You can see that it has some foam on top of it!!

I have put it in the fridge to cool down, and already drank a few glasses of it!! I must say it is quite sour, I see on all the sites I googled Kombucha, they say it tastes "TART", but I would just say sour, but not bad tasting!!

I also read that, you can brew it for a shorter time, then it will be less sour, but then less of the sugar would have been used up.

I was very lucky, that in my first brew a new SCOBY formed, and now I have two SCOBY'S with two batches brewing. Below you can see the new SCOBY in one of my new batches.

Apparently Kombucha is quite healthy as it contains probiotics and antioxidants. You can read more about the health benefits of Kombucha by following the link:

I think I will take out my new batch on day 5, to see what the difference in taste is!!

I hope you liked the post as much as I liked writing it.

I hope you have a wonderful day!!
