But then one day a thin, translucent layer will form, eventually thickening into a full on SCOBY. Don’t mess with it! You won’t see anything but a few bubbles in the first few days.You can use honey in the second fermentation, once there are a higher number of good bacteria to fight off the bad, but for now, stick to sugar. No honey. Honey can contain botulism bacteria that, when grown exponentially as bacteria and yeast tend to do in kombucha, can be dangerous.By all means, once your SCOBY is big and strong you can use green tea, but for now stick with black. Only black tea. Similarly, the SCOBY doesn’t grow as well with green or fruity teas.No decaf. The SCOBY doesn’t like decaf tea and will not grow as well if fed it (SCOBY = my spirit animal).Don’t use this tea as the starter to your first fermentation! The tea you used to make the SCOBY, however, is very vinegary and should be tossed. The SCOBY should live and grow for years if treated with love.
