Step 2, Adding Sugar, Bottling Tea
After taking out the tea bags, wait for the water to cool, slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
2-1
Slowly poor the sugar into the tea and stir continuously so that it dissolves quickly and doesn’t caramelize on the bottom of the pot. It is important not to add the sugar over heat or it will burn and make a sticky mess.
2-2
Divide the other 2 quarts of water between 2 jars. Slowly add the hot tea until both jars are within an inch of the top. If you overfill the jars, adding the SCOBY (culture) will cause an overflow.
2-3
Wait an hour or so for the tea to come down to room temp or at least body temp.
