For our small batch we are now using 21 grams of tea steeped in 1/2 gallon of water for 30 minutes. We transfer to a jar with 1 cup of sugar and let cool for a few hours. We then add 2 cups of cold water, 1 1/4 cup of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY. We’ll flavor it with 1 tsp of sugar for our usual small batch of House OG.
