Steps
1
Put Sugar and 275g of the water into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Stir to prevent the sugar from scorching on the bottom. Once to a boil and all sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat, add in the tea bags, and steep for 10 minutes.
2
Put the remaining 1725g of water in a gallon jar and slowly pour the sweet tea mixture into the container. Make sure the water is cooler than 140°F before proceeding to the next step, as this is too hot for the SCOBY. Once below that temperature, add the back-slop as well as the SCOBY.
3
Put a breathable kitchen towel over the opening and allow to ferment for 7-10 days, or until you are happy with the flavor. Every other day or so, you can peel back the cloth and do a check of the flavor as well as the health of the SCOBY.
