Please note that you do not have to go through the boiling water process, that takes so much of your valuable time! HOURS of waiting to do all certain processes.
Just use distilled water from Walmart. The only thing you have to do is to dissolve your sugar, make it concentrated and brew the tea, also concentrated. All you have to do is to divide sugar and tea between your jars and adding distilled water. KOMBUCHA is GREAT!
