Re: Kombucha: Tea and Sugar

[Guest guest]

" Hi EveryOne,

While we most often recommend using Organic or regular tea: black, green or

white and sugar, white or organic to make KT, we do that because that is

what is known to work..... "

Yes - but my point is - if many of you have already tried things that didn't

work out - well, why should I waste my time! You've already done the work for

me!! LOL

word) and am one of the Lovers, Still chuck in a few t bags for the SCOBY to

much at tho'.
