Hello!

Welcome to my blog. This is my first time ever blogging so it will be a learning process but I am surprised with how easy it has been so far. I have decided to make kombucha for my fermentation project for Microbiology. It took me a long time to start to like kombucha but now I love it! I love trying new flavors. However, kombucha is often more expensive than most beverages so making my own is something I have always wanted to try but have been a little intimidated to do. This class project was the little push I needed to go for it. I have been reading quite a bit about how the process works and what is required and I think I can do it. I know my sister has tried once or twice herself so I'm sure I will ask her for some advice. To get started I need:

-water
-sugar
-green tea
-mesh tea ball
-strainer
-scoby
-large pot (for brewing tea and dissolving sugar)
-large glass jar
-tight-weave dish towel (to act as a jar lid)
-rubber band (to fasten the dish towel to the jar)

-optional (to be added later on for flavor):
-ginger
-juice


I will update this blog as I go along, excited to see what happens!
