You strained the tea at the beginning of the first ferment, it only brews for 5 minutes. If you are adding flavor, I add it a week after my first brew and let it sit another week in capped bottles so that it will carbonate. After this second week is when I move it to the fridge to drink it.

CB= continuous brew which is not the method that I’m teaching here

I was just reading about someone who loves fermenting in plastic while everything I read said to avoid it, I think you could try it and see or do a little of your own research…

Yep, they don’t all like it but I’ll let them drink it, the caffeine and alcohol are both so minimal I don’t have an issue with it. Look up some charts on how much is actually left in the final product and you’ll see it’s a very very small amount.

I thought about this a little more, I’d try it in conjunction with a fruit or something. You’ll want a little sugar in the mix to help with carbonation. Just an oil I don’t think would do much.
