| How to use it (simple + robust method) | |
| Batch setup | |
| 1 liter sweet tea (black or green) | |
| ~50–100 g sugar per liter | |
| 100–200 ml kombucha (10–20%) | |
| 👉 This starter % is key—it drops pH fast (like your vinegar intuition) | |
| What happens next | |
| Days 1–3: yeast wakes up → slight fizz, maybe cloudy | |
| Days 3–7: bacteria kick in → acidity rises | |
| Around day 5+: you’ll likely see a new pellicle forming | |
| That pellicle = your culture stabilizing (thanks to Komagataeibacter) |
