It is possible to grow a scoby from the drink only – I did, because I forgot to add a scoby to a batch (!) but it was VERY thin after 10 days, but it worked, and got thicker by the next batch… I also make Kombucha with a mix of black tea, green tea and Black Currant tea – and it is amazing! When you have enough scoby’s do some experiments! I don’t count how many times I use my scopy – just reusing them. I have been making Kombucha for 2.5 months by now…And given away lots of them…Happy brewing for everybody!

Pure2raw,
I read that you can use the scoby from a bottle of unpaturized, raw drink (like the store bought Synergy kombucha)to start the process going instead of buying the “mother” online or at a health food store. Have you tried that???

Al you can reuse the mother about 5 times when making the kombucha (that is what I was taught).
