After boiling the sugared water for 5 minutes, set it aside and add your tea to it. Let your tea steep for about 15 minutes. After your tea has steeped, remove the tea from the mixture with the help of a metal spoon. Then, leave your tea to cool.

Place the mixture you left to cool into a jar where you want to prepare your tea. Wash the kombucha yeast with the help of lukewarm water. Add the kombucha yeast into your mixture that has reached room temperature. The mouth of the jar should be closed in a way that allows air to pass through. For this reason, you should use cheesecloth and a rubber band for the closing process.

After closing the mouth of your jar, leave it to ferment for 4-10 days. During this process, your jar should not be exposed to direct sunlight and should wait at room temperature. At the end of ten days, you can enjoy your fermented tea.
