“If you go away or want to take a break, you need to

rest the Mother in a sugar-tea solution in the fridge.“

For the sugar-tea solution:

250ml boiling filtered water

4 black tea bags

220g raw or white sugar

250ml cold water

1 Pour the boiling water into a heatproof bowl or

teapot and add the tea bags. Steep for one minute

or so, then discard the tea bags.

2 Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.

Top up with the cold water.

3 Pour the sugar-tea solution into

a container and add the kombucha

Mother. Seal and place in the fridge

for up to three months.
