ginger lemon is awesome. they are all awesome. that being said, make your own, super easy, super cheap. i have 4 gallons going. each gallon you make becomes two when the scoby makes a new one. you only need to buy 1 starter kit, one time. do it. do it now.

its only my third brew and i will have to either throw out some extra scobys i cant give away or put them in a "scoby hotel" im flush with booch.

I have 2 gallons going all the time and the recipes is 1 gallon water + 1 cup sugar + 8-1- tea bags of green or black unflavored tea. my last batch had regular TajMahal Orange Pekoe and it works fantastic.

Heat .5 gallon upto 180 F add sugar dissolve add tea bags steep for an hour. add the additional .5 gallon cold RO or filtered water after pulling tea bags. throw in half a bottle of GT's unflavored kombucha. (so you can build your own scoby in 15-20 days required only the first time) for next round you will have your own scoby and fermented tea (2 cups) to start a new batch.

pour above in a wide mouth jar preferably with a plastic tap. (so you can taste a teaspoon everyday to see where its goinng. dont forget to cover the jar with coffee filter paper or some clean cloth to avoid fruit flies. Tap is important as you can taste and fill bottles for 2nd ferment as soon as it tasted good (personal preference, of tartness) if you can test for PH it should be 2.5-3.5.

2nd ferment is for flavoring&carbonation, choose half cup/16oz whatever juice tastes good to you or raw fruit slices when bottling. avoid juices with pulp. if you like the base flavor as it came out after 1st ferment just put in a teaspoon of sugar in 16oz bottle before leaving it on the counter for 2-3 days. (carbonation). then chill it for 8-12 hours in your refrigerator and its ready to drink. your first 2 batches may not come out best as scoby goes through growth spurts. once its mature you will have the best tasting kombucha. Remember the whole process works best when you have temps of liquid steady at about 75-78 F. 2nd ferment is about carbonating kombucha so use bottles that can hold carbonation without becoming a bottle bomb as those things can explode if left too long or if proportion of juice/sugars is high.GT's bottles after drinking Kombucha from this deal will work good too, sterilize bottles by hand washing in hot water and giving it a rinse with vinegar. Cleanliness is the key to this process so you dont endup brewing toxins instead of probiotics.

Try making water kefir. Easier to get fizziness and easier to make than kombucha, in my experience. You just need to get some water kefir grains.

usually 25 cals per 8 oz. so pretty low to none. next time read the label to make sure as vendors vary.

its pretty fool proof but instead of posting it i would suggest you go to kombuchakamp dot com it has every resource you may need. they explain the ratios you need and keep things very simple. it seems intimidating but its actually super easy.

i ordered a random starter kit off amazon. if you care its the home craft brand one, but any fo the highly rated ones will do.

in terms of a recipe, i follow what kobuchakamp dot com says, its a great resource and probably a one stop shop for every questions etc you may have.

if you have a gallon jar (really any large jar with a somewhat wide top) you can just order a scoby for about 7 bucks off amazon and go from there using the site noted above.
