So I got thinking and decided to give kombucha a go. Following the instructions that came with my scoby, I put 8 teabags and 170g of sugar in 2 litres of boiling water:

After half an hour of steeping, fished out the tea bags and then left it to cool for a few hours.
I'd bought a mis-shapen scoby online, they're cheaper (and really does the shape matter?!). Once the tea was cool, it was into the kilner jar for the cold tea mixture and the scoby:

So now it is sat in the utility room, covered in an old tea towel. After 5 days I'll try it:

I do hope I like kombucha .....
