INGREDIENTS (To make 2.5L Jun Kombucha Tea)

  4. Cover container with your choice cloth, secure with a rubber band.

  5. Brew, place the container in a quiet place for 5 to 10 days to culture.
    (The longer the fermenting time, the less sweet it will taste.)

  6. Taste, when it is pleasant to you, your Jun kombucha tea is ready.

  7. Separate Jun kombucha scoby from finished kombucha tea and retain 200ml to 250ml of finished Jun kombucha tea.
