Procedure[edit]

A tea bag of cotton fabric was constructed, mate leaves placed within. Water was heated in a kettle and poured over the tea bag in a new 5 gallon (~20L) HDPE plastic bucket. This was repeated 4 times. The tea was steeped for approximately 10 minutes. Additional cool water was added until the volume reached 18L. With the liquid near room temperature, black tea based kombucha was added as a starter. The bucket was covered with cotton fabric secured by rubber band and left to ferment.
