Keyword: Cannabis, drinks
Servings: 4 people
Author: Steph Van De Ven
Cost: 25.00

Equipment

  • Big Cooking Pot ( enough to fit one gallon of water)
  • Wooden spoon only ( no metal)
  • Stove/Cooktop
  • Large Glass Storage JUG with sealed lid (enough to fit one gallon of water)
  • Cheesecloth of pantyhose

Ingredients

  • 1 SCOBY ( you can check online or go to natural food stores to get a start scoby)
  • 1 cup Store-bought kombucha for your first batch Any plain brand/flavor will do
  • 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
  • 12 bags Black Tea Any brand you like
  • 1 quart Of your favorite juice Optional
  • 1 ounce Cannabis - decarbed

Instructions

  • On your stove, bring water to a boil
  • Add your sugar and stir with wooden spoon until it's all dissolved
  • Add your tea bags to the water and let it steep for 10 minutes
  • Once it's cooled to room temperature, you can remove the tea bags and transfer the liquid to a large glass jug - leave enough room at the top.
  • Pour your juice inside (optional)
  • Pour your store-bought kombucha inside
  • With very clean and sanitized hands, gently slide in your SCOBY. It's okay if it sinks or floats - let it be. Do not adjust it.
  • Dip in in your decarbed cannabis - either with cheesecloth or pantyhouse. Tighten the lid, seal it up and ensure no air can get in - this is the fermentation process.
  • Gently place your jug somewhere warm, dark, and quiet. 75-85 F is an ideal temp.

Checking on your Cannabis Kombucha

  • Leave your kombucha alone for a few days, untouched.
  • After about 4 days, check on your batch by either noticing tiny little bubbles OR taking a straw and having a small sip of your batch. It should taste sweet. Seal it back up thought, it needs to ferment more to reach the best levels!
  • Leave it for another 4-7 days. Check it every 4 days or so. When you test it, if it has the right amount of fizz and taste - then it's ready for you!
