Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Marge, You don't need a scoby to brew k-tea, but your starter should be quite tart--high acidity will help deter molds and such from forming. I have often taken a non-flavored store-bought bottle, added a pinch or two of sugar, and set it in a cup with a coffee filter rubberbanded over the top. A scoby should start to form within a day or two, and within a week or so you can taste it. If it's very vinegary and tart it should make a good starter! Generally you'll want to use about 10% starter+scoby to 90% fresh tea, but for the first time I'd go 30-70 or so just to make sure you get a good start.
