Kombucha infusion is famous for its healing properties, which largely depend on its storage. In principle, this culture, which is a symbiosis of acetic acid bacteria and yeast fungus, is unpretentious; however, it is necessary to observe certain storage conditions for kombucha, which will be described below.
What is the best container to store kombucha?
The maintenance and storage of this culture is carried out, as a rule, in three-liter glass jars. It is not recommended to store kombucha in containers made of polyvinyl chloride or metal. The jar should not be hermetically sealed, just cover its neck with gauze or a napkin to prevent dust from getting into the infused drink.
There is no need to place the jar in the refrigerator, as cold has a detrimental effect on kombucha. It is enough to place the container in a dark, well-ventilated and cool place. The temperature at which kombucha is stored should be 22-25 degrees Celsius. If the indicators are lower, this will negatively affect the healing properties of the resulting infusion.
Take care of the mushroom!
Experienced kombucha breeders recommend regularly rinsing it in running water. In summer, this procedure must be performed at least once a week, but in winter, you can limit it to once a month. You also need to remember that the solution, which is a nutrient medium for the culture, should be changed regularly so that the fungus does not get sick.
Evidence that the culture is not doing well is a brown coating on the mushroom. The plaque must be carefully cleaned off, the nutrient solution replaced with a fresh one, and then the kombucha placed back in the container. It is noteworthy that even after complete evaporation of the liquid medium, the mushroom can come to life if you refill it with fresh tea solution, therefore you should not part with it even if all the water from the container has evaporated for one reason or another and it seems as if the mushroom has died.
If you need to store kombucha for a long time (for example, you are going on vacation or a business trip), then there is nothing left to do but place it in the refrigerator. At low temperatures, the functioning of the fungus will slow down (it will seem to go into hibernation), but when it gets into favorable conditions, it will return to its normal state.
In conclusion, we note that the mushroom should be stored in sweetened boiled water. Sugar must be stirred until it is completely dissolved, since this product gets on
Tea mushroom originated in Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century and became widespread in the 80s. Nowadays, it is undeservedly forgotten and is quite rare, despite the fact that the drink obtained with its support has expensive healing and preventive properties.

Kombucha infusion contains a lot of biologically energetic substances, which makes it a healthy drink.
Kombucha is a symbiosis of acetic acid bacteria and yeast fungi that form a thick layered film that floats on the surface of a liquid nutrient medium. The official name of the Japanese mushroom is “medusomycete”. Its appearance resembles a jellyfish: the top of the kombucha is smooth, dense and slimy, and the bottom is hung with numerous threads. During fermentation, yeast converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and bacteria, in turn, oxidize the alcohol to acetic acid. Kombucha infusion is traditionally called tea kvass. Tea jellyfish is native to China. Kombucha was first mentioned in written sources about 250 years BC. According to these sources, the mushroom was obtained by accident: it spontaneously appeared on the surface of someone’s forgotten sugary tea. The Chinese tried the drink and appreciated its wonderful, refreshing taste. In the future, the beneficial properties of kombucha were noticed, as a result of which it began to be called the elixir of health and longevity. The Fanga mushroom came to Europe and Russia only in the 20th century. Scientists became interested in the healing properties of medusomycetes and conducted relevant research.

What is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a thick mucous film on the surface of the liquid, vaguely reminiscent of jellyfish. The scientific name of this organism is medusomycete, and it is popularly called kombucha, Japanese mushroom, tea jellyfish or sea kvass. This is a symbiosis of yeast and bacteria. The body needs a special nutrient medium. Like ordinary yeast, kombucha needs sugar, which it ferments, resulting in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Bacteria, in turn, oxidize ethyl alcohol and convert it into acetic acid. As a result of the activity of the fungus, a nice drink is obtained that tastes like kvass.
Kombucha care
In order for kombucha to progress and grow, it must be properly cared for. For cool growth and development, the mushroom needs a sweet liquid. You can put it, basically, in any drink, say, fruit juice or berry juice, but the most delicious-tasting drink is based on tea (it’s not for nothing that this organism is called kombucha). Prepare a solution. Brew some tea. Strain the brew and add warm water to the required amount. Dissolve sugar at the rate of 100 g per liter of water. It is more convenient for everyone to make a drink in a three-liter jar, so this amount will require 300 g of sugar. You can add honey to the infusion to taste, which will give it additional antibacterial and tonic properties. Cool the liquid and put kombucha in it. Cover the jar with a napkin, gauze or any other clean cotton cloth. Place the container in a warm place (the optimal temperature for the life of the fungus is about 25 degrees, that is, ordinary room temperature). At the same time, it is better not to place the jar on the window, because kombucha does not like direct bright rays, it can get burned and disappear. A coffee-based drink is very appetizing. To do this, you need to make a sugary solution at the rate of 1 tablespoon of your favorite instant coffee and 100 g of sugar per 1 liter of water. Place kombucha on top of the drink and cover the jar with gauze. The drink will be ready in 2-4 days in summer, and in winter in about a week. Drain the liquid, immediately prepare fresh tea and dip the mushroom in it. The resulting drink is ready for use; it can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. Once every 2 weeks, the kombucha must be “bathed.” After draining the drink, remove it from the jar and rinse it under running warm water. As the fungus grows, it begins to multiply and develop layers. They can be easily separated. Keep the required number of mushrooms for yourself and give the rest as a gift. Pure kombucha will first sink to the bottom, and then gradually rise and take its usual place on the surface.
One time tea mushroom was almost in the entire kitchen and was considered a panacea for all diseases. Then many people got rid of the unusual organism floating in a jar and resembling a jellyfish.

Kombucha diseases and their treatment
In case of poor care of kombucha, it can provoke the development of various diseases. For example, it can often be damaged by various kinds of cuts and punctures if the tea leaves of the mushroom are not changed correctly and carefully.
If the kombucha has turned brown, this may indicate that during the process of replacing the tea infusion, tea leaves or grains of sugar got into the body of the mushroom and did not have time to dissolve. The damaged layer, in this case, must be removed.
In addition, if the norms for its maintenance are violated - incorrect temperature, direct sunlight, then algae may appear. In such a situation, the mushroom needs to be washed under running water and the jar will also need to be washed.
Another thing that can bother the tea jellyfish is mold. It may appear if the environment in which the fungus lives is not acidic enough. And its peculiarity is that mold affects only the side that comes into contact with air.

In the summer, when many people are sweltering from the heat, we use a wide range of drinks. Some people buy cold sweet teas, others quench their thirst with hot tea or just water. The Kazakhs, for example, have a traditional drink to quench their thirst: tan, kumis, shubat, ayran. They not only quench thirst, but also restore salt balance, since these drinks taste sour.
In addition, kombucha, kvass, and kombucha are also widely popular in the CIS countries.
Kombucha is somewhat reminiscent of kvass in taste, which is, in principle, explained by some ethyl alcohol content at certain stages of fermentation. After some time it transforms into acids. Kombucha contains some vitamins, enzymes and a little alcohol, it is perfect for drinking in the summer and at any other time. In addition, it is very useful for improving digestion.
Kombucha is undeservedly losing popularity among people. Although once upon a time, during times of food shortages, it was on the table of every family. Here we will tell you the benefits of the drink, how to grow it at home, what useful components it contains and the possible harm to the body for some people.
Kombucha is a so-called mass clot. It contains yeast and bacteria. Its appearance for some people seems repulsive and unpresentable, and it causes them to associate with squids and jellyfish with its appearance. In order for it to live, it needs medium strength and, of course, sugar. After pouring, it infuses for about a week, then it can be eaten. It needs to be washed and cleaned periodically; you should also take into account the fact that it will grow and increase in size if you abandon it and stop using it.
Kombucha is an alcoholic drink. It contains a small amount of alcohol due to fermentation processes caused by the yeast in the mushroom and sugar in the tea solution.
Kombucha without sugar
This type of kombucha can be consumed by diabetics, because Classic preparation of kombucha involves adding a fairly large amount of sugar, which, of course, will initially be contraindicated for diabetics to drink such a drink. There is a way out. To prevent sugar from causing an increase in glycemic levels in such patients, it must be added in small quantities: a maximum of one hundred grams per two liters of tea. Or you can replace regular sugar with something else, such as honey or fructose.

The latter have a positive effect on the functioning of the stomach of those who regularly drink this drink. Therefore, it is recommended to drink it in small quantities before and after meals for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
There is also a mushroom and an antiseptic effect. Kombucha is able to disinfect wounds, and can especially help in healing wounds on the mucous membrane, for example, if there are wounds or inflammation in the nasal or oral cavity. Here is the approximate chemical composition of the kombucha infusion:
Caffeine;
Enzymes;
A small amount of alcohol (2-3%);
B vitamins and vitamin C;

Diabetes;
Allergy;
Obesity;
Gastrointestinal diseases.
Of course, if you do not use it in excessive quantities, but even in this case, it can only cause you bloating and flatulence.
It will be of particular benefit to those people who have digestive problems. The large number of enzymes that are in the drink will only contribute to the active functioning of the entire gastrointestinal tract.
Kombucha recipe
What is kombucha and where can I get it? First, you need to find people who already have kombucha and regularly make infusions with it. The mushroom has the ability to multiply and grow because it is a living organism. But when it increases in size, and let’s say the environment remains the same, or rather the volume of tea remains the same in which it is located, then the tea infusion begins to acquire a specific taste due to the increase in the concentration of acetic acid. As a rule, most people make kombucha infusions in a three-liter jar, and if this volume is enough for them, then they distribute the excess mushroom to other people or simply dispose of it in order to maintain the taste qualities that they like.
How to make Kombucha? If you already have part of the mushroom, then you need to steam sterilize a three or two liter (depending on how much drink you will need in the future) jar. To do this, you can use a kettle with boiling water or a saucepan. Then prepare the substrate for the future drink itself - a weak brew. Boil water and put 3-4 teaspoons of tea into the boiled water. Let it brew and then cool. Pour the cooled tea leaves into a jar, add sugar and the mushroom itself. Cover the neck of the jar with a breathable cloth, not a lid, because the mushroom needs access to oxygen and without it it will simply suffocate.
The drink matures over the course of two to three days; you can steep it for a week, but then it will have a stronger and sharper taste. In general, you determine the readiness of the ripened infusion yourself, based on taste.
This is how you can grow kombucha at home. Prepare fairly strong tea and pour it into a mug. Place in a dark place, add sugar and wait for about 3 days. After this, an inconspicuous film of the future mushroom will appear, which after a month will take on the usual appearance of kombucha, after which it can be transplanted into a jar and filled with tea solution.
How to store kombucha
How to store kombucha if you need a break? Depending on how much you'll be away and how long it will sit unused, there are different methods for storing it until you need it. If you simply don’t need it at the moment and won’t drink it, then make weak tea and place it in a darkened room. You can leave it alone for a couple of weeks; after this period, you only need to change the solution.
How to store kombucha while on vacation? If you plan to leave somewhere for a period of about a month or even more, then it is better to take the kombucha out of the jar, rinse it, separate what you think is the youngest part and, putting it in some container or plate covered with gauze, place it in fridge.
In the cold, the work of the fungus slows down and it becomes less active, which basically keeps it alive. Then, when you return it to its natural environment, it will resume its work again.
How long can kombucha be stored and what is the shelf life of kombucha? With proper care, its life can be maintained for a very long time. To do this, you just need to clean the mushroom, remove excess and leave young folds.
How to store dry kombucha? Remove the mushroom from the jar and place it in a deep bowl. Turning it over periodically, ensure that all the moisture from the mushroom evaporates, and then, placing the mushroom in any container or bag, put it in the closet. It is revived by the same tea.
In order for the mushroom to serve you longer, you should follow a few tips for storing it, which will be given below.
1. Do not put it in strong tea solution;
2. Do not block the air supply;
3. Wash it regularly.
Kombucha is bitter, why?
If it has changed its taste, then this is a signal to rinse it. This could also be due to the fact that you simply overexposed it. You need to monitor its taste every day and determine for yourself the period at which the taste will be normal. In addition, remove overgrown parts of the mushroom, they can also cause a change in taste.
Kombucha: caring for it
As already mentioned, kombucha must be washed periodically, removing what you consider necessary and suspicious from the surface and from the folds.
You need to clean it in boiled water at room temperature. You determine the time when you need to wash it yourself. When the mushroom begins to change its taste and become sharp and unpleasant, then this is a reason to clean it.
If you plan to be away for a long period of time, knowing that there will be no one to take care of your kombucha, you should place it in the refrigerator. In normal times, when you use it regularly, you can store it anywhere in the kitchen, in a slightly dark place.
1. Take a glass container of the size suitable for your Mushroom (usually a 3-liter jar is used)
2. First you need to make a brew using the ratio of 2 teaspoons of black or green tea per 1 liter of water. It is recommended to brew tea for at least 15 minutes. The water must be filtered and boiled, poured into the jar not up to the neck, but left room for air in the jar so that the mushroom can breathe. Approximately 2.5 liters of water is taken.
3. The tea leaves need to be strained, because they can stick to the mushroom, which can make it sick. You can also use tea bags.
4. Approximately 5 level tablespoons of sugar per 1 liter of water are placed in the filtered tea leaves. The sugar should be completely mixed and there should be no pieces. If sugar particles get on the mushroom, they will damage the mushroom. Unstirred sugar can burn holes in the mushroom!
5. The ratio of how much sugar and tea leaves is taken to taste. If you don’t want to make a very sweet or strong infusion, you can add less sugar or tea leaves. For example, 3 tablespoons per 3-liter jar. The large amount of sugar in the infusion makes it not very beneficial for teeth, and is harmful for diabetics.
I always make an infusion of 150 g. sugar and 3 tablespoons of tea leaves per 3-liter jar.
6. Let the tea cool to room temperature. The fungus culture will die if placed in a hot solution.
7. For young mushrooms: a little mushroom infusion from the jar where it was previously kept as a “starter starter” should be added to the tea (the amount of infusion should be approximately 1/10 of the total volume of liquid.
8. Place the mushroom in the jar. We close the neck of the dish with gauze or a paper napkin and secure it with braid or an elastic band so that the kombucha can breathe, but so that small midges, dust and plant spores cannot penetrate into the jar.
9. Place the jar in a dark, warm place - the ideal temperature for tea mushroom is about 25 °C.
10. After 1-10 days of infusion, Kombucha is ready for use. The fermentation time depends on the air temperature in the room - the higher the temperature, the faster the drink will be ready.
In summer, the mushroom is ready for consumption within 1-2 days, in winter it takes 3-4 days.
When you first start the mushroom, the infusion may take longer to prepare.
11. When the drink reaches the desired acidity according to your taste, take out the kombucha with clean hands, rinse it under cold running water and put it in a jar of cold sweet tea prepared in advance according to the same scheme.
12. Pour the finished drink into a glass container with a tight lid, filling it to the brim. To get maximum pleasure from the drink, let it ripen for several more days in a cool place - bacteria stop functioning without air access, and yeast continues to work if the container is tightly closed, the gas resulting from the activity of yeast will not be able to escape and you will get a delicious fizzy drink .
13. Before drinking, you can strain the drink through cheesecloth or a plastic (not metal) strainer.
14. It is convenient to have two identical jars: in one the kombucha will live, and in the other you will pour the finished drink. In the refrigerator, hermetically sealed glass containers with tea mushroom infusion can be stored for quite a long time, maintaining their healing and taste properties.
15. Tea infusion can be used as a drinking drink with the taste of kvass or soda. If you keep the mushroom in the solution for a longer time, you can make vinegar, which can be used instead of store-bought vinegar.
16. At an advanced age, the mushroom reaches a thickness of several centimeters (its area depends on the area of the container in which it lives) and allows you to drink the infusion every day directly from the jar that contains the mushroom (of course, you must remember to replenish the loss of liquid with a new portion of cold sweet tea ).
For kombucha to give you joy and benefit, it should be loved and cared for. Only proper handling of kombucha guarantees that the drink obtained with its help will be truly healing!
Important rules for the care and maintenance of kombucha.
· It is necessary to keep the kombucha in a glass container that is suitable in size, usually a regular 3-liter jar. It should not be kept in containers made of metals other than stainless steel, since the acids produced by the culture can react with metals. High-quality synthetic materials from the polylefin group, such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene, can be used, but containers made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polystyrene should not be used.
· It is better to keep the jar of mushroom in a dark place; you can allocate a special drawer for it in the kitchen - with ventilation and without foreign odors. Cold and direct sunlight inhibit the development of kombucha, so it is best to keep it away from the window.
· Typically, kombucha is kept at normal room temperature. The optimal temperature for kombucha is approximately 25 °C. Temperatures below 17 ° C are harmful, as they reduce the activity of the fungus and blue-green algae can develop in it.
· The jar of kombucha should not be covered with a lid, since the mushroom must breathe; it is simply covered with a clean napkin or gauze so that dust does not get in and insects (which, by the way, are very indifferent to it) cannot reach it.
· Kombucha must be placed in boiled (!) water with sugar and tea leaves already dissolved in it: raw water contains a lot of soluble calcium salts (water hardness salts), which form calcium gluconate with gluconic acid, which precipitates.
· You cannot sprinkle sugar on the kombucha and place it in a solution with undissolved sugar - this causes burns on its body in the form of brown spots.
· You should not make tea that is too strong - excessive concentration of tea inhibits the growth of kombucha.
· Leaves or granules of tea leaves should not be left in the tea solution for kombucha - this is very harmful to the kombucha and can cause wounds on its body.
· It is necessary to periodically rinse the kombucha in clean water (you can use it from the tap, but if possible, use clean or spring water). In summer, this should be done every one to two weeks, and in winter - every three to four weeks.
· Do not put the mushroom in hot tea.
· If the top part of the kombucha begins to turn brown - this is a sign that the mushroom is beginning to die (sometimes this happens if the kombucha sits too long in the solution) - you should rinse it, separate and throw away the top layer and try to take more careful care of your pet.
You also need to take into account that kombucha “works” faster in summer than in winter, and accordingly, you need to change the solution much more often.
If you pour the kombucha infusion into a free container and leave it to infuse at room temperature, then after one or two weeks a thin translucent layer will form on the surface of the liquid - a colony of microorganisms, which over time will also turn into an adult mushroom.
If you leave for a long time or completely forget about the kombucha, then all the liquid may evaporate. But the mushroom will come to life as soon as it is poured with sweet water or tea. Thus, it turns out that kombucha can be stored in dried form.
Kombucha propagation.
If you pour the kombucha infusion into a free container and leave it to infuse at room temperature, then after one or two weeks a thin translucent layer will form on the surface of the liquid - a colony of microorganisms, which over time will also turn into an adult mushroom. Sometimes kombucha can be “reborn”. It sinks to the bottom of the jar and separates from itself a new, clean, transparent film - the daughter Kombucha. In this case, the old mushroom can be used further or thrown away (buried with all honors). If the old mushroom is already very thick, it can be used to prepare vinegar, since with old age the mushrooms begin to produce too much acid, and put the film in a fresh solution - very soon it will turn into a full-fledged adult mushroom that will serve you faithfully. If your Kombucha has become too thick, has accumulated many layers, and it is inconvenient for you to care for it, or the drink becomes sour too quickly, you can detach a part yourself and give it to your relatives, friends, neighbors or work colleagues, having first told about its beneficial properties and given link to site:

Sebum and sweat, covering the skin with a thin layer, create an acidic environment that is unfavorable for many microorganisms that cause various skin diseases. If your body or scalp is itchy, it usually means you've used too strong a cleanser and it has altered your skin's natural acidity. When acid is used as a cleanser, the skin receives a natural product that meets its natural needs. The skin, which is naturally acidic, thus performs an important protective function in relation to the entire body.
The vast majority of soaps damage this protective layer of the skin because they contain alkali. Therefore, after washing with soap, it is necessary to rinse the skin with an infusion of kombucha aged a month or more.
Rubbing the skin with an infusion of kombucha restores its acidic environment, so the infusion has proven itself to be an effective skin care product.
Kombucha infusion is added to the water when taking a bath. It is used to make lotions for facial skin care, mouth rinses and hair rinses. This lotion gets rid of dandruff and gives shine to your hair. Cosmetology products using kombucha infusion are useful for any skin type. Below we offer you several recipes.

This gentle method of cleansing your face is recommended to be done in the evening once a week.
Hair loss
Typically, each person loses about a hundred hairs during the day. During pregnancy, as well as in spring and autumn, hair begins to fall out more intensely, especially in young girls and older women, as well as in middle-aged men. If you're losing more hair than usual, especially if you're starting to experience a receding hairline, it's likely that it's due to your metabolism. In this case, it is recommended to drink a glass of kombucha infusion every day for six to eight weeks with each meal. This measure normalizes metabolism, replenishes the lack of minerals, strengthens hair and promotes its growth. Additionally, you can massage your scalp with kombucha infusion. If hair loss is not caused by a hereditary predisposition or disease, then the hair should soon begin to grow intensively and thickly and be strong and healthy.
After washing, rinse your hair with a month-old infusion of kombucha. It is best to rinse your hair with kombucha infusion after each shampoo.
Kombucha for hair and scalp

If you have a cough, the most important thing is to find the cause. It could be a cold, enlarged glands, or the flu.
The cough will stop when the source of irritation is eliminated. But if a cough is only a symptom of a disease, then it is necessary to eliminate the cause, and not suppress the cough. One of the best ways to tone the body is hot baths followed by cold showers. Eat more antioxidants - onions, garlic, chives and ginger.
