diary of a kombucha baby

i made about a gallon of tea using:
filtered water,
loose Frontier brand black tea,
organic white sugar.

i poured it into my clean, tempered glass punch-bowl-kombucha-house. i let it cool.
then i poured most of a 32 ounce bottle of live Kombucha by The Rejuvenation Company.

next day i added the kombucha mother i adopted from Joanne.
then i covered it with a linen cloth that i tied close so that floating dust and interested bugs cannot investigate.
by morning it was bubbling with effervescence. and smelled great.
