A friend of mine tried using her scoby in apple juice IN THE FRIG no less and got a wonderful fizzy tart drink !! I put one of my scobies in some apple juice and another scoby in some orange juice and they are both in the frig right now. The apple juice appears to be getting fizzy already. I forgot and used tight lids for BOTH jars instead of letting them ‘air’, yet they seem to be fermenting just the same. Consider the possibilities! WOW! As long as kombucha has been around, I’m really surprised this hasn’t been done before?

About the soy additive, please see Kaayla Daniels Book, “The Whole Soy Story.”
she devotes and entire chapter to it: ” Soy Lecithin-Sludge to Profit.” Those allergic to soy probably dont check their tea bags for the substance. Why ingest another helping of the GMO soy if we dont need to. Celestial is just adulterating and diluting the ingredients with cheap soy product. But we have to do something with it, why not give it to unsuspecting Americans!!! They never check the labels…

I usually buy kombucha at the health food store but it would be great if I can learn to make it home. This would be great to use as herbal home remedies for a better immune system.

I’ve been making Kombucha for awhile from both black & Green tea. Recently tried someone’s technique of adding clear fruit juice when decanting it into small bottles (apple & white grape) – didn’t like the taste.
