Step 4Adding the Tea...
After the sweetener has dissolved, turn off heat, and add 6 tea bags or 6 teaspoons of loose tea in a tea ball, cover, and steep for ten minutes. Green or black tea are most commonly used or you may use a combination of both. Feel free to try other non-flavored teas except herbal teas. Herbal teas may contain oils that the kombucha cultures do not like. If you wish to add the benefits of herbal teas you may brew them separate and add them after the fermentation process is complete and you have drawn the tea for consumption.
This may seem like a long time to steep the tea but you'll want to pull out all the constitutes from the tea. These constitutes will be part of the nutrients that the culture will grow from and provide benefits, such as anti-oxidants, when you drink the tea.
After 10 minutes remove the tea bags or tea ball.
