What about if the ginger is boiled in the water that you use for the tea, but removed before the fermentation process. Is this still a bad idea?

Comment on A Beginner’s Guide to Matcha by Alty

I just tried my first bit of Matcha. I did not have a whisk so i did the best i could. I have to say i really enjoyed it. I tried a second cup with warmed soy milk, put 4 ounces in a blender and added 1 tsp of matcha and mixed it into a froth. this worked much better and gave a wonderful beverage. I guess you would call it a soy matcha latte? I absolutely loved it. If anyone has any ideas about other recipes, i would love to hear them.

@Valerie - You should store your SCOBY covered in kombucha (at least ½ cup), either in the warm, dark place where you ferment your kombucha, or in the refrigerator — just be sure and check it frequently, to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Although a SCOBY can be frozen (again, making sure it is completely covered in kombucha), doing so runs the risk of killing the SCOBY. Best of luck!

After making kombucha, if you dont want to start right away to make another batch. Is it ok to store

Thanks Valerie

Hey cousins!! I haven’t called with congrats, sorry. I thought I’d bump into you at Chris’s house, but you bailed out too soon!! I then thought I’d get out there to meet the babe, but, yeah, my car won’t make it out there. So, I am hoping you will be at applesauce making this year so we can finally meet him. All I saw was the picture of grandma holding him on my moms camera, not even a real picture. So then I thought to my self, “self, they probably have him on the website”. So, here he is. He’s gorgeous!!
Can’t wait to meet him, and see you.

Love,
Cheryl

@Denise — yes, you can use store bought kombucha to produce a scoby. I used GT dave’s original, with about a 50% GT’s/50% new tea mix w/sugar. A new scoby should form just fine (although it might be a little thin the first time you do it).
