  2. turn off heat and add black tea and sugar.
  3. stir till sugar is dissolved.
  4. wait until water has cooled completely.    
  5.  poor sweat tea mixture into a large glass jar.
  6. then place SCOBY mushroom on top.
  7. leave in a warm, dimly lit place for seven to ten days. If the temperature is cooler (like in winter), it will take longer.
  8. taste test. When you think it's ready, taste a spoonful. If it tastes at all like black tea, it is not done. The longer you let it sit, the more sour it will taste.
  9. DRINK IT!

after it is fermented, when you are putting in bottles or going to drink it, you can add chia seeds or favorite fruit juices.
