Homemade Kombucha: What I’ve Learned (part 2)

I’ve been making it in 2-quart jars. Doing little experiments, I’ve figured out that

1. 4 tea bags is better than 6. I’ve been using Tetley’s low-cost black tea. Each teabag supposedly has 33% more tea than usual. In Wild Fermentation, Sandor Katz suggests 4 teabags for 2 quarts.

2. 3/4 cup of sugar is better than 1/2 cup of sugar. The Wild Fermentation recipe says 1/2 cup of sugar for 2 quarts.
