Guest guest Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 , I do that. I do not boil all my water- I have reverse osmosis. I will boil 4 quarts and add it to 8 quarts in 2 different jars and it does cool faster. gretchen In a message dated 8/2/2012 8:34:12 A.M.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I steep a percentage of the water, preparing a large batch of concentrate. When i mix the tea for brewing, i just pour some cold concentrate with cold water (from our well). Then i put a scoby and some kt in, cover, and ferment. It's nice not having to brew tea every time, and having to wait for the tea to cool down. I hated that.... - Woody Subject: Re: Re: sun tea question To: original_kombucha Date: Thursday, August 2, 2012, 10:03 AM Â , I do that. I do not boil all my water- I have reverse osmosis.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's what I've always done, however, I use a water filter. -- > Margret, I am curious, wasnt it you or perhaps it was Bev, that only boils > a concentrated solution of water for the tea.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I haven't posted on it, but I have done a concentrated solution with success, as well as sun tea. With the concentrate I boil the smaller amount of water, steep it, drain out the leaves then add the sugar while the concentrate is still hot, dissolve the sugar, then add water to the solution. It cools down fast and can be poured in.

Our KT comes out delicious every time. :-) Margret:-) P.S.
