Description

Learn how to make Jun Tea, a delightful variation of kombucha made with green tea and honey. This probiotic drink is easy to ferment at home and offers a unique flavor profile.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon loose-leaf green tea or 2 green tea bags
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • 1 cup unflavored Jun starter tea (from a previous batch or store-bought)
  • 1 Jun SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water and Steep Tea: Bring filtered water to a gentle boil, add green tea, steep for 3–5 minutes, then strain or remove tea bags.
  2. Add Honey and Cool: Stir in honey until dissolved, let sweet tea cool to room temperature.
  3. Prepare the Fermentation Jar: Pour cooled tea into a glass jar, add Jun SCOBY and starter tea.
  4. Ferment: Cover jar with breathable cloth, place in a dark spot (65–75°F) for 5–7 days.
  5. Check and Bottle: Taste after day 5, remove SCOBY, reserve 1 cup tea, bottle the rest, and refrigerate.
  6. Carbonate (Optional): Leave sealed bottles at room temperature for 1–3 days before chilling.

Notes

  • Jun tea ferments faster with green tea and honey.
  • Avoid using black tea or sugar to prevent SCOBY disruption.
  • Flavor the tea during bottling for a second fermentation with ginger, fruit, or herbs.
