Patience Tested

Update on Project Kombucha: it's never as easy as it looks.

A week has passed and my SCOBY-to-be looks like... a jar of Kombucha.  No film, not even some little white spots to indicate even a hint of potential. 

This gentleman's method gives me hope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTs6bJ-O-1Q

I also attribute the lack of progress thus far to the chilly weather in D.C. the last week or so.  I mean it's no Minnesota winter, but we have dipped down to 30s at night and my Kombucha SCOBY is supposed to be developing at a temperature of 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Stay tuned for more SCOBY updates.
