This video is all about the KOMBUCHA SCOBY. Ever wondered how you could start brewing your own kombucha tea at home? Well, first things first-you NEED a SCOBY. What's a SCOBY you ask? SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and YEAST (S.C.O.B.Y). This culture is what you add to a batch of green or black tea to turn plain tea into a delicious fermented beverage full of probiotics and gut-healthy, nourishing enzymes. Kombucha is great to aid in digestion, and helps skin, hair, and nails grow, its an adaptogen (which is just a fancy word for something that helps your body ADAPT to stress) along with so many other health benefits. Have I intrigued you yet? I hope so. I have been brewing my own kombucha at home for over 12 years and I still LOVE it. So let's get started making a SCOBY and next I'll show you how to use it to brew your own kombucha tea (next video:) ------ Blog Post and Written Instructions --------- https://homemadeonourhomestead.com/how-to-make-a-scoby-from-scratch/ ---------- KOMBUCHA RESOURCES & SCOBYS TO PURCHASE ---------- BUY A SCOBY CULTURE (IF YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS TO RAW BOTTLED KOMBUCHA): https://culturesforhealth.com/products/kombucha-tea-starter-culture?sca_ref=2712108.6uz6WR9bmC XL KOMBUCHA FORMED SCOBY: https://amzn.to/3es4fEL SCOBYs: https://amzn.to/31m07vz THE BEST RESOURCE FOR KOMBUCHA: https://amzn.to/33vKNze ---------- BREWING JARS & OTHER KOMBUCHA EQUIPT. ---------- RESOURCE BOOK: https://amzn.to/33vKNze (I've had mine for 12 years and I STILL USE IT!)
