I made another gallon of kombucha, only this time it was from black tea. I always made it out of green tea, however, I made an error the last time that forced me to make a decision. You see, I had just boiled the sugar water and I was ready for the tea when I realized that I didn't have anymore green tea. So I needed to either throw that batch away, or use organic black tea (that I usually used to make sun tea for my husband). Well, kombucha will eat black tea as well as green tea, so I decided to try something new rather than throw a perfectly good batch away. They just finished yesterday. The scobys were so thick and beautiful and the tea has a flavor that is more robust than the green tea.
Sometimes when you are trying new things, you have to be grateful for the mistakes. I have some peach flavored kombucha now waiting for me and it is so delicious. I never would have tried anything new if it wasn't for my wonderful little "whoopsie" event. I'm now looking for other things to try like jasmine green tea! I will post any success with it.
