Many people are interested in obtaining a Kombucha mother to start their first Kombucha brew. However, it is not easy (in some sense) because there are not that many people brewing Kombucha in Malaysia. My mother-in-law got hers from a friend of hers, thus started our family’s journey to a whole new world of brewing Kombucha and Water Kefir.
Do not despair if you are not able to obtain your own Kombucha mother because there is a way to grow a new Kombucha mother easily, though it will take more than 2 weeks to form.
I have searched and found these videos which will show you the step by step method of growing a Kombucha mother.
Something interesting! My friend told me that even if you do not have any starter Kombucha tea to start with, you are still able to grow a mother with just the water, sugar and tea. That got the experimental side of me excited. I have started a fresh batch of the sweet tea minus the Kombucha mother… will let you know the results of my experiment later.
Please make sure that all the utensils you use are cleaned and properly sterilised before you start!
Here are the videos. Hope you enjoy them!
