Kombucha Tea

I am so excited I just tried my first batch of Kombucha Tea. Kombucha is the Western name for sweetened tea or tisane that has been fermented using a macroscopic solid mass of microorganisms called a "kombucha colony". It has many healthy benefits and can be quite expensive, so I decided to ferment my own. I got my mushroom and starter tea and brewed it here at home. The twins and Josh tried it and all thought it was very good although, Clifton says "MOM, it scared the crap out of me!" because it is fizzy. I am looking for a gallon sized glass jar if anyone knows where to get one, let me know. My first batch I only did about a quart, but I want to do bigger batches in the future.
