Do you add vinegar to brew?

[Guest guest]

I thought the recipe called for vinegar?

Hi

So glad to see you back on the list.  You were missed'

I believe this recipe came from this list, but could be mistaken.

9-12 teabags per gallon

1 to 1-1/3 cups sugar

one gallon water

Loose tea is stronger,  generally  use 3 different types, black, green, white

  and sometimes  rooibus or hibiscus  added   and my green tea is usually  

Jasmine.  Anyway  about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of each of the three  plus  a wee tad

 of anything else.

There is no rocket science here,  anything in close proximity is fine  then

 adjust according to your taste.   If you get it too strong  add some water

to your glass. -

Water is my biggest issue here at my daughters.   We are out in the country

 and she has a well, but the water isn't fit to drink so its all run thru a

water softener-   I will not drink the stuff or even use it to cook  with.  

I buy bottled  mountain spring water  or if nothing else is available

distilled.

Zoe-- Could you please tell me what the " medicinal strength " recipe is?

The question I responded to was for the " medicinal recipe "  and not how to make

KT.

If you notice I also did not mention the SCOBY

To be sure when assembling your batch of KT (Kombucha Tea)  you need to

add the SCOBY and a fair amount of starter fluid,  which  ideally is from your

last batch of KT.  In a pinch you can use distilled vinegar ( never use raw

vinegar for this purpose)

I do hope this explains your question and alleviates your confusion,  sorry  for

the misunderstanding.
