Homemade Kombucha

May 31, 2018


My daughter-in-law, Jackie gifted me a scoby the other day. A scoby is what you'll need to make your own Kombucha. If you know someone who is brewing their own, they should be able to share a starter scoby with you. If not, you can purchase and make your own scoby.

A scoby isn't the most attractive thing to look at, but it's extremely healthy and immune system boosting.
