Kombucha brewing is a process that requires patience. It takes time for the SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) to ferment the tea and convert it into kombucha. Typically, the fermentation process takes around 7 to 14 days, depending on various factors such as temperature and desired taste. It's important to resist the temptation to rush the process and allow the kombucha to ferment fully for the best results.
