Growing Kombucha leather seemed easy until I began going through the process. Within mintues of simply opening the tea bags I ripped one completely open, sending tea flying EVERYWHERE.
A small snag, I found another pack of old tea and emptied that, creating a new bag to fill with the original tea. Pictured in the top left corner.
I boiled the water and let the tea darken.
Then proceeded to add the sugar and mix until dissolved with a fork.
The hardest and most concerning part about this process what getting the temperature right before we put the komchua scoby in. This took 20 minutes as I regularly checked the temperature with a thermometer.
Pictured below is the Kombucha mix a week later.
