What is a SCOBY?
That alien fungus-like structure is the polysaccharide sac that allows sweetened tea to ferment and become kombucha. SCOBY is an acronym for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast. This means there's an entire community of bacteria and yeasts working together to create a stable culture, specifically lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and yeast. This is the starter culture that triggers the fermentation process.
The scoby can be purchased online, received as a gift, or made at home. If you choose the latter option, you'll need:
1. Dechlorinated water
2. Black tea or green tea
3. Sugar
4. Ready-made kombucha, to use as a starter
(store-bought kombucha is also fine)
5. Clean glass jar
6. Light, elastic cotton gauze to secure it
