Try not to touch the starter any more than you have to...as the oils in your skins can deaden the starter,too.

hello, thanks for your explanations. i am preparing kombucha tea in a different recipe. first of all i put 4-5 lt water to a pan to boil it. when it starts to boil i add 12-14 spoon of sugar and keep it boiling for a few minutes. than it doesnt need any more boiling, add 7-8 tea bag and wait for 15 minutes. and take the the bags from pan and keep the blend until it is cool. now it is ready to add kombucha starter and some kombucha tea remaining from earlier preperation. and a little bit vinegar will be beter to keep the starters fresh.

I just wanted to make it clear that the tea should be cooled to room temp before dropping in the culture. Don't cook your SCOBY!

He made sun tea, so it's already at room temp. But yes, if you boil (or heat) your water for tea, make sure to cool it first.
