Hi - When I make the kombucha, I use 1 cup of organic
sugar to one gallon of water. I prefer to ferment it
longer than is called for to get all the sugar
fermented out. That is about 8 days. When I harvest
it earlier, it is definitly sweet. A little longer
has more of a little sour apple cider taste which I
prefer. Perhaps the commercial Kombucha is fermented
on the short side for the consumer that likes it
sweet. I feel that the sugar has been fermented out
but I could be wrong. Cindy
