I absolutely love all of your videos!! I chose to become vegan a little bit before thanksgiving this year and your videos have helped me so much! I just ordered my kombucha starter kit and cannot wait to start brewing 😁
Once the final product is ready, can the Kombucha liquid come in contact with soap/metal? Do we only want to avoid the SCOBY coming in contact with those things? Thanks!
Literally my favourite thing ever to have in restaurants, but have always been putting off learning how to make it. Lol. A youtube vid explaining clearly is nice and lazy for me to learn. Defo gonna try this!
I was literally just looking into this because it just seems like the best option when it comes to probiotics. Thanks for making this in such perfect timing! Great minds think alike, right?!
Cat Fisk the amount of alcohol there is negligible, kinda like in bread and other products that use baking yeast, i.e. they technically do contain trace amounts of alcohol but nobody would ever not eat bread just because of that
I took a sleeping pill and had a glass of kombucha before that. 30 minutes later I was vomitting everywhere. So be very careful since you don't know how much alcohol is in every batch
Can you make more for your first batch or is that the maximum for the scoby to take? Just seems a lot of effort for one small glass at then end then to wait another week for the next one
Help please! My friend gave me scoby and I forgot it on the counter at school for overnight and most of the day:( and I am scared to ask her:) if it's still ok to use and do I have to keep it in the fridge Thank you
john wall you can order it online and also ask around if someone you know makes it and they can give you scoby and then you start making it then you can share with friends too
Romy Fernandez i think aslong as metal doesnt touch the scoby its fine. And from what ive read its only certain metals that are a problem but its probably best to avoid all of them.
It is a probiotic. Aids in digestion and immune health. It has helped some people with weight loss and other things as well. Even without all those benefits it is just a delicious, natural, low calorie, and low sugar (around 3-7 grams per serving), drink.
I have replaced any and all soda within the past few years with kombucha. I am just lucky to live where some of the most popular kombucha breweries are.
The end result kombucha has little to no sugar if that's what you're concerned about. It's all "eaten" by the scoby which needs its to ferment so there should be little to none in your final product.
I found one article which explains that too much of kombucha can make candida to overgrowth which leads to psoriasis. Just dont take too much of it. Peace.
You can get the plain Kombucha from the store.. most grocery stores have it now and use the remnants in that, thats how i started mine :) Just make sure when you buy it theres some at the bottom of the bottle
No, think of it more as an environment. Its a home for bacteria and yeast. Google described it as being like a coral reef but for bacteria instead of sea life.
I didn't know regular sugar could not be vegan friendly! Thanks for sharing that fact :)
Yeah it's sad isn't it :/
LITERALLY HAVE BEEN MEANING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS THANK YOU AHHH
Omg me too :D got mine a week earlier and this video is perfect, bc mind should be ready the next day :D
Yesss perfect!
AHHHOOOWESRGFwsgf
Your videos are always perfect timing, literally just talking to my coworker about this who started making tons of this at his home.
No way! That's awesome
I absolutely love all of your videos!! I chose to become vegan a little bit before thanksgiving this year and your videos have helped me so much! I just ordered my kombucha starter kit and cannot wait to start brewing 😁
Oh my gosh! This is such a great recipe. I will definitely have to try this out. Looks delicious
Good idea on adding a little sugar. I've done fruit with not a lot of fizz.... Nice, short, informative video... yea...... Love Kombucha!

Yess I hope you do!
Easy to follow instructions. Good job, Caitlin.
Thank you!

Yes! It's so much cheaper to make your own too :)
The jar with the baby scoby, the lid was looks metal? wont that affect it? since condensation may bring water up and then drip back down?
Nope! The inner part of the lid was lined with plastic
I love kombucha but the scoby grosses me out so much! Really neat video thanks for sharing. I'll never make it though because I'd probably vom 😂
Haha you definitely get used to it!
I have been making kombucha for a few years know but haven't found any info on how much you can drink per day. How much do you drink? :)
What came first the scoby or the kombucha ? 🤔
:O
This is awesome. I happen to have a friend that makes his own kombucha! I'm gonna ask him for a scoby 😊 thanks Caitlin! I'm in love with your channel
Did he give u his scoby?
Also extra scoby are supposed to be great for fertilizing plants!
Ooh I will totally have to look into that!
Is it alcoholic then? If it ferments then the yeast should be releasing alcohol into the liquid correct?
Yes there is a small amount of alcohol but it's pretty negligible
Nooooo I was going to make this, but I don't drink alcohol...
Cat Fisk it only has about .0001% of alcohol

I've been looking for something like this!
serisously love all you videos, your the one of the first vegan channels i've ever watched and i suscribed immeditly ,, loveya soo much girll❤️
Aw thank you Jada 💕
Can you make more for your first batch or is that the maximum for the scoby to take? Just seems a lot of effort for one small glass at then end then to wait another week for the next one
You can brew more, I brew mine a gallon at a time!
Could I use fresh ginger and lemon as a flavoring for the second fermentation? Or puréed oranges?
I've never heard of Kombucha. I will definitely look into doing this!
Scoby sounds so cute, but looks so freaky😳 This was actually not that hard!
I feel like you would come up with some awesome flavors Natalie!
Can you make it without the sugar? Will it ferment properly?
Thank you for the video!! to start a new kumbucha batch, could you use the scoby and secondly fermented (fizzy storebrought) kombucha, too?
Wow, I subscribed to you about two weeks ago and your subs have just jumped up a lot! Congrats! Also, cool video haha.
Yeah I honestly don't know what happened myself haha...but thanks for supporting me!
OMGGG YESSS. Needed a recipe for this!
Help please! My friend gave me scoby and I forgot it on the counter at school for overnight and most of the day:( and I am scared to ask her:) if it's still ok to use and do I have to keep it in the fridge
Thank you
How many uses can you get out of one scoby?
I've never thought of doing this, but your video makes me really want to...
Love your videos so much 💖
My aunt doe kombucha and she's in love she says she's never felt better!
That's awesome!
SO how do you make a scoby?
john wall you can order it online and also ask around if someone you know makes it and they can give you scoby and then you start making it then you can share with friends too
Your channel is so inspiring
How do you make a scoby?
Another great video.
Thank you!
Why can't you use metal I have watched other videos where people have used a metal strainer or metal funnel.
how many times can you use the original scoby?
YESSS I've been waiting for something like this!!! I need to start making my own booch hehe
Do it girl it's awesome!
Hi! I thought you said no metal but the lids you used were metal, so I'm confused?
Are the mason jar lids not metal?
Romy Fernandez i think aslong as metal doesnt touch the scoby its fine. And from what ive read its only certain metals that are a problem but its probably best to avoid all of them.
What are the benefits of drinking kombucha??
It is a probiotic. Aids in digestion and immune health. It has helped some people with weight loss and other things as well. Even without all those benefits it is just a delicious, natural, low calorie, and low sugar (around 3-7 grams per serving), drink.
I have replaced any and all soda within the past few years with kombucha. I am just lucky to live where some of the most popular kombucha breweries are.
+Anna Newman wow that's good to know! Thanks!
Can you use less sugar? If so what's the minimum amount? thanks😄
The end result kombucha has little to no sugar if that's what you're concerned about. It's all "eaten" by the scoby which needs its to ferment so there should be little to none in your final product.
+Kaydee Shaw Yes, thank you so much😊
Thank you for sharing this ! i'm waiting for my scoby and will try it asap !! :D
Video at 4.33 Do you have psoriasis ? Does kombucha helping you to get rid of it?
great video simple!
I found one article which explains that too much of kombucha can make candida to overgrowth which leads to psoriasis. Just dont take too much of it. Peace.
Can you make it without a SCOBY
Can i substitute sugar
with honey?
kucibaba it won't be vegan if you use honey but yes just with different proportions, same with agave and maple syrup
Easier than I thought!!
Loved this video
This is great!!!
Where can I buy a scoby online? 😯
You can get the plain Kombucha from the store.. most grocery stores have it now and use the remnants in that, thats how i started mine :) Just make sure when you buy it theres some at the bottom of the bottle
+La Raey Galati Ugh, you're so smart lol. Thank you.
La Raey Galati good idea
Why is a stainless steel pot important .
I thought you had to do black tea for the cafien
Do you mean coffeine?😅🙈
+Anni Mae *caffeine you can't spell either 😝
+AsphyxiA hahah yes apperantly, but to be fair I'm no native english speaker and in my language it's 'Koffein'🙈
hahha
Green tea has caffeine too :)
Is this scoby thing an animal? Like a fish or something??
No, think of it more as an environment. Its a home for bacteria and yeast. Google described it as being like a coral reef but for bacteria instead of sea life.
Kori Skene cool, thanks
Seems like a lot of work (and weeks??) for just one glass of drink? Did I miss something?
Huh? Most people doesnt even have someone who has a person who has a scobe to give them....hmmm
Where does one get one?
:)
This actually sounds gross. But haha ok great vid.
Well it's actually delicious and great for you! You should give it a try sometime :)
I was watchng another diy video but it was the ad for this. Almost missed this. At least the ad wasnt annoying as this
that's so cool and gross! so much work though for such a small batch of kombutcha :(
My Scoby looked so much uglier than yours! Haha!
Maybe it was just well loved ☺️
What the heck did I just click on?😂
Americans and cups=/=/
I thought sugar wasn't good for you?
1. the scoby "eats" the sugar, there is very little left in the actual drink 2. a little sugar is certainly not going to kill you in the long run haha
hey. Thank you. this was helpful!
