It is really easy once you get the hang of it.. i approached brewing with some

hesitation but once you start it is surprisingly easy...

Get yourself a glass container with a relatively large opening. You can get some

from Target or your local Wal-mart.. about $7.00.. Do not take the one with the

spigot.. Refgular Cookie jar.

Find a Stainless steel pot of about 2 quart..

Plastic or Stainless Steel Strainer

Get a SCOBY.. Several people from this forum will gladly mail you one with

starter

Find some decent Tea (White, Green or Black) are preferred, start without any

additional " stuff " in the tea, i-e no Earl Grey.. You can graduate to these

later if you care

use Good water, Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water are well regarded in this

forum. Avoid at all cost the use of Tap water...

Once you have these a gallon of KT, which will probably better in ALL aspects to

store-bought Notice I said a GALLON.. should cost about $1 of material.. Takes

about a week to be ready and preparation time is less than 20 mins...

Happy KT brewing

hopefully there's someone local who could share some starter and a

few tips on making KT.
