One 3 Gallon Acrylic container
2.5 Gallon Stainless steel pot
12 recycled GT's bottles
Ingredients:
2 Gallons spring water
8 bags black tea
4 bags lemon ginger tea
3 cups sugar
left about 20 ounces in container
Method:
Boiled one gallon water, removed from heat, put in teabags, steeped 10 minutes, added sugar, let cool, when cooled to tepid put in brewing vessel, add other gallon of spring water, the S.C.O.B.Y, and 16fl.ozs. of GT's Original. Did the litmus test thing to make sure we were going acid. Found out my taste buds did the same and they let me know about the sweetness of the brew. I wanted to leave a little sweetness in to allow for fizz production. After 7 days I guessed it was time to bottle.
I cleaned, rinsed and sterilized the bottles in a pressure cooker and we bottled 16 botlles. 8 plain and 8 with 1fl.ozs of Bom Dia (Acai berry/blue berry juice).
Put the bottles in the dark for 7 days then started to put them in the refrigerator 3 at a time for daily consumption.
Note: By now C. and I are drinking about a pint a day. We started slowly as recommended by peple more experienced.
