Jun is a fermented tea drink rich in probiotics made from green tea and raw honey. It is like Kombucha, but better, because it doesn't use refined sugar and maintains the benefits of local honey. A deliciously refreshing fizzy drink with probiotics

Home Brewed Jun

tea bags green tea

Raw honey (must be raw)

Wrap dish towel tightly over the top of the mason jar and secure with a rubber band.

Let sit in a dark, slightly warm place for 1-2 weeks.

Remove SCOBY and 1 cup starter liquid for the next brew. Pour off Jun into bottling jars, leaving little air in the jars. Make sure to discard the yeasty bits at the bottom of the large Mason Jar brew.

Seal bottling jars and sit for 1-2 weeks in a dark, slightly warm place.

These Jun bottles are ready to be served and enjoyed! You may store in the fridge for 6-8 months.

How To Brew Jun Kombucha Tea

Filtered Water

Honey

Funnel

Thermometer Or Adhesive Temperature Strip

1-3 pH Strips

Kombucha

Bring two cups of water to a boil, then remove the pot from heat.

Steep the tea for 5-10 minutes.

Allow tea to cool slightly (If you add the honey in while its too hot, it can scorch the microbes that you want to preserve, too cool and it will be hard to fully dissolve).

Pour sweetened tea into the glass brew jar and fill with filtered water, leaving enough room to add the culture, and some head space (about 4").

The addition of the water should bring the tea mixture to about room temperature. Just make sure it's cool to the touch before moving on.

Add your Jun starter culture (SCOBY)  (pellicle with 12 fluid ounces of mature jun starter tea).

Cover the jar and leave it to ferment ideally between 75-78°F. Start tasting after day 5 to asses the progress. If it is still too sweet, allow it to continue fermenting as the full fermentation can take up to 21 days.

Quick & Easy: ein schnelles Abendessen. Mit Couscous gefüllte Peperoni, mit Rindshackbällchen im Ofen gebacken, sind ein schmackhaftes, einfaches Gericht.
