HOW TO MAKE JUN
Jun is kombucha made with honey and green tea instead of white refined sugar and black tea. It can be very mild and highly carbonated. Jun is sometimes called the champagne of kombucha. In this video, I cover all the steps of brewing the tea, sweetening, fermenting, carbonating, and finally tasting the finished product.
You can get what you need to make this and I can get a little kick-back from Amazon! (Following these links does NOT cost extra)

My Jun came out great! My roommate has bad stomach problems and hates store bought komucha. He loves the jun and his issues have already gotten better. Thank you so much. Best channel on YT!

@bassamal-kaaki3253 5 лет назад

Well, you can actually have a Jun scoby when you raise it through green tea and honey with a kombucha scoby you already have. The new scoby layer is the Jun scoby. Take that one and use it in your future Jun kombucha's. It is as simple as that :)

@sheragalfrancis1797 3 года назад

The info and experience brewing I have is they are totally different and feed on different things. For Jun I have seen white tea and jasmine tea substituted for the green tea.

How can I make a Jun Scoby

@bassamal-kaaki3253 2 года назад

@@sheragalfrancis1797 I used one of my previous grown scoby’s that fed on black tea and sugar cane. I just used it on my green tea batch and it worked incredibly well.

@bassamal-kaaki3253 2 года назад

@@TheAncientOne1000 you really don’t have to. If you have a previous scoby that is extra just use that one with your new green tea and honey 🍯 mix ;)

@joshyc2006 2 года назад

@@sheragalfrancis1797 Then you're experience may be incorrect. There's a lot of fake information/hipster science in this stuff. "Oh, jun was created hundreds of years ago separate to kombucha" or whatever, reality is you can dump some starter tea and a kombucha scoby into a jun mix and it'll adapt and break down the honey fairly quickly. After 1 slow-ish batch I was making jun regularly. As far as I can tell, all Kombucha is a vinegar mother, and the yeast in the brew produces the alcohol that's converted into acetic acid, rather than taking a high alcohol wine/beer and converting it into vinegar, so it does it as the alchohol is produced. I suspect you could make your own kombucha scoby from a vinegar mother in a high sugar drink with active yeast in, and give it a few gens, always something i've wanted to try!

I give this video a 5 star. The production quality with regards to: audio levels/quality, lighting and staging area is very good. Also the content is helpful (providing links), easy to understand instructions all within a flowing order. The added information about the canning jar lids in how they work is quite informative.

Do u use honey

@christinabernat9681 6 лет назад

I have watched other fermenters but only yours really reached me and also give me a relaxed feeling of confidence which got me doing my first fermenting with salts spices and veggies, and your honey and garlic one. No fuss -- AND LOVED THE RESULTS!! I ate half of one jar of the veggies at once because they were sooooooooo good. LOVED the garlic too - ate that up fast too as I LOVE garlic. My husband ate only small amounts so far but I was not sad because that left MORE for me! My future ferments wll be in bigger jars as a result, now that my feet are wet!! Tomorrow I am starting my second group of jars doing the same two but different veggies. I am going to do this jun now too. What type of professional training did you get as a cook, btw? School and on the job?

@BetterDoneYourself 6 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. That's great to hear that I've inspired you! I try to give people all the info that they need and present it in a way that's understandable and usable. I actually work in computer support and was a professional technical instructor for many years. I'm experienced at presenting a lot of very technical material to people that may not be familiar with the subject matter at all. My background for this is growing up on a self-sufficient farm where we grew, raised, or made everything that we needed. I also read an incredible amount of cookbooks, food science books, and scientific journals. I am also a professionally trained cook. I know how to properly prepare food, hold a knife, and be safe in the kitchen. I don't like that a lot of RU-vidrs just pass bad information back and forth or make videos about something that they have never done before. If I publish a video, I need to be sure about what I'm doing and am sure of the material that I am presenting. Maybe I should make a video just about me...

@bobcatt2294 6 лет назад

After doing my research and watching various videos, I successfully made my first batch of Kombucha. The brew actually taste better than the store bought. I used organic Hibiscus tea, white organic sugar, distilled water. I steep the tea in a not too hot water as to not leach any resins or bitter taste. For the fusion I added organic mango juice. I often drink sparking apple cider which is kind of too sweet after I have had a glass. I just had some the other day given to me for the holidays by my neighbor :). After the glass, my energy levels went down as usual after consuming the sparkling cider. I then had a desire to drink water in order to flush down the apple cider. I selected to instead, drink the Kombucha, the difference is huge. Komubucha is energy generating and thirst quenching while the sparkling apple cider die the exact opposite. I would like to thank you for the creations of these instructional videos. You make my point, that you can get your equivalent of a PHD in just about anything on RU-vid. I will indeed share my recipes with others, in the effort of sharing good habits to attain wellbeing and good health. Kind regards, bc

@BetterDoneYourself 6 лет назад

I've done a lot of "experimenting" at home with kombucha and in essence, it does not care what tea you use or even if you leave the tea out completely. As long it gets some sort of sugar, and you keep fruit flies out of it, it will do fine.

@smileytow1925 6 лет назад

I bought a jun scoby at my local brewing shop. I had done Kombucha for years, just wanted a change. They say jun is the champagne of kombucha. I also didn’t want to use a kombucha scoby because honey I didn’t feel was good for the scoby. It was good, but now I am giving myself a brake from it. I have made water kefir, milk kefir, kombucha and jun. ( this summer I will make water kefir again, very refreshing) husband won’t drink any of it although he’s tasted them all. Thanks for your video. I have been buying raw honey for my local bee man, ( and pollen to) for years. Have a great day!

@OmarDelawar Год назад

I am curious. Have you ever brewed regular kombucha with green tea? Does it taste significantly different than Jun? I've been brewing green tea kombucha for the past 2 months and what I usually do for the 2nd Ferment is to add a little bit of honey in there, it really tastes like Champagne. I wonder how close green tea kombucha with some honey is to Jun? I never had Jun before but your video made me curious. I might get myself a Jun SCOBY and start brewing that too.

At around 6:00 raw honey is typically not recommended AFAIK because it can compete with the culture. Thanks for the video!

If the sour flavor of of komboocha is too much, you can add stevia or splenda to the komboocha to sweeten it. I'm not a big fan of sour flavors, but I need prpbiotic foods and drinks to treat a Medi-Cal condition that standard medicine hasn't found effective treatment for yet. The condition I have has had research showing the possibility of improvement woth probiotocs, the level of effectiveness is a mixed bag though. I've shown massive improvements in 9months time. Most probiotics are sour. Only a few can be sweetened, komboocha being one. I add the sweeteners I listed to komboocha when I do the second ferment. I use it in both my tea and coffee komboocha. It brings the flavor to a more soda like consitancy without added sugar. I also use this on home made gingerale or fruit juice based sodas. I also eat my home made yogurt with this method too

When you let tea ferment much longer than the recommended times and higher than recommended temperatures they get bitter. The key to stronger tea is more tea but you will get stronger tea from more steeping but also it will, as I said, get bitter before you know it. Good luck.

I didn't have an opportunity to buy a june scoby, so i just took a kombucha scoby and grew a new scoby out of it using green tea and honey. And i use this new scoby to make jun. The taste is just like people describe jun supposed to be, and it ferments in one week, while my kombucha ferments in 2 weeks (I like to ferment a little longer). Also, even the first batch that I made from the kombucha scoby was perfectly fine. So i don't understand what is the difference between a kombucha scoby and a jun scoby. If a scientist would prove to me in a lab, that the two cultures are totally different and do different things, than i will believe that i need a special jun scoby. Also, i nice tip. I make my jun with elderflower syrup and my kombucha with quince syrup, the flavours are amazing

My rule of thumb for SS, if a magnet can stick to it....don’t use...it will leach impurities. Plus crock-ware unglazed...know your source. Mexican pottery unglazed is known to leach lead.

I’m confused because I thought honey wasn’t good to ferment with?? I’ve read lots of mixed reviews that honey has anti bacterial properties which could slow down the fermentation process.can someone clarify this for me?

@BetterDoneYourself 6 лет назад

cali lubb Sure. Honey sucks moisture out of other things. In this ferment, the honey sucks enough water out of the garlic to cause it to dilute and become fermentable. The antibacterial properties are somewhat selective. They'll kill off the bad bacteria while allowing the lactobacters on the garlic to showing to life!

Better Done Yourself wait I think ur confused on the video I commented on.I seen ur honey and garlic video, this was the green tea honey drink video.can I use honey instead of sugar in my other fermented drinks? Like my fermented ginger ale???

I quote, " I read books, not spurious crap on the Internet, but real, honest to God books!" Spurious? You are suggesting that the internet in general has spurious content? There are many contributors who task are to uplift and educate the public, right here on the internet. It may be argued that your video is better than many How to Kombucha books. Books are generally invaluable but also is content on the net. One does not replace the other, they each are complementary.

@BetterDoneYourself 6 лет назад

Bobcatt22 Yes, but. There's a lot of misinformation shared by people on social media that's just imitating others. Someone who publishes a book has more investment in getting actual knowledge out to the world than someone making a video about "this is the first time I've done this so I wanted to share it with you".

@bobcatt2294 6 лет назад

I do agree with you, there is lots of dis-information - intentionally and those who really want to help but are lacking to correct information which is not serving the community - and could many times be harmful. I do appreciate your stressing that just stainless cookware is not enough, you must have quality stainless as the cheaper metal alloys have higher amounts of nickel.

Does your final drink here taste anything like ginger ale? I want to get my family off of drinking soda, but I'm concerned about wasting money on something none of us will like. Sure, I could buy a single serving and try it, but several videos I've watched on kombucha and Jun say it's a bit different. A perfect example is that I've always hated yogurt, until I made my own. Now I love it.

@BetterDoneYourself 4 года назад

Jennifer Guermonprez Yes. It tastes like real ginger ale. No. It does not taste like the stuff from the grocery store with over an ounce of sugar per serving.

@joyfulnoise6556 4 года назад

@@BetterDoneYourself GREAT! I have had the real stuff. So I think we will be able to tolerate Jun enough to get to where we like it. From what I'm reading that will mean we are likely to no longer like soda. I showed my oldest, he's 11, and he really liked the idea of trying this. Over the past 8 months or so we had already started to try different teas, so he already has one in mind he wants to add. I'm so glad I found you! I'm learning so much to add on to our journey to better living through real foods.

@BetterDoneYourself 4 года назад

Jennifer Guermonprez oh wait. I thought we were talking about the ginger ale video. If you like that, you'll like this. The trick is not to let it ferment too long. It gets sour fast.

What I did is I mixed 10 oz of green tea 2 oz of starter kombucha 1.5 oz of honey and added a scoby and theoretically the bacteria that can live off the green tea and honey will survive and multiply and the bacteria that can’t eat the honey/green tea will die off and causing only the jun bacteria left and it formed a scoby.

@violethendrickson6080 5 лет назад

Also, my kombucha brewing jar is 2 1/2 gallons if I use that to make Jun, and do a second ferment, will I have to store the yellow jars in the refrigerator after they have set for the three days or so? When making kombucha, I had to store the bottles in the refrigerator or they would continue to get stronger and have more carbonation. I started just using the first ferment kombucha and not flavoring it, which would store just fine in the pantry without having to be refrigerated. Do you think I could do a second ferment with the June and it would store OK without refrigeration? Thanks!

@aceqman 3 года назад

its the same scoby as kombucha and of course it ferments faster: Honey has 20% less sugar in the same amount.....

@jmarshall3620 4 года назад

Now how do you raise the alcohol level?

@BetterDoneYourself 4 года назад

decrease the bacteria - increase the yeast. Use a yeast strain that is alcohol resistant.

@derekfrost8991 4 года назад

You need a hydrometer to measure it. I found after ten days fermenting sugar the alc was only 0.5%, then by day 14 it shot up to 4%.. :)

@HitchSteam 3 года назад

My scoby's go back and forth between black and green tea and they also switch between white sugar, brown sugar and Honey. They actually don't care.........

@manzoora8101 Год назад

How much alcohol is in these type of drinks? I know kombucha has great benefits, but how much alcohol it contains? From my understanding, all fermented drinks have alcohol in them, but if one is drinking it every day, then the Ialchol amount is harmful for the body?
