If you don't have a scoby for Kombucha

Scoby-less Kombucha?
Brew 3 quarts of black tea, with one cup of white sugar. Let the tea cool to room temperature. Then, grab a bottle of ready to drink kombucha from the health food store, and pour it into the tea - the whole bottle, glops and all. - Don't strain the bottled kombucha...Then, cover the glass (brew kombucha and other fermented drinks in glass - never plastic or metal) container over with a clean dishtowel. Secure the towel on with a rubber band.Put that brew into a dark cupboard, and leave it there, undisturbed, for 2 weeks. 2 Weeks Later...You should have a strong batch of kombucha, and your very own healthy scoby floating on top.Now follow the instructions here on how to use your scoby.Meanwhile, you have kombucha to drink, while you use your newborn scoby to brew more for you, which will only take a week this time around. :-)
