1. Make the sweet tea. Bring the water to a boil. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved. Add the tea and allow to steep until the tea cools to room temperature. Remove and discard the tea.

2. Combine the sweet tea and kombucha in a jar. Pour the sweet tea into the jar.

Place the jar somewhere at average room temperature (70°F), out of direct sunlight, and where it won't get jostled. Sunlight can prevent the kombucha from fermenting and the scoby from forming, so wrap the jar in a cloth if you can't keep it away from sunlight.
