Reddit mentions of 500ml (16 oz.) Clear Flip-cap Bottles, 12 Pack

I just started making it myself. I got a SCOBY from Amazon and here's my general recipe:

1. 1 Gallon brewed tea (black is the easiest/cheapest to use, but I've used Roobios too)
   
2. 1 Cup sugar (I used refined white sugar - while technically not Paleo, it is the easiest for the SCOBY to digest)
   
3. 1 SCOBY
   
4. 1 Cup distilled white vinegar/previously brewed tea
   
   Boil the water. Once the water is boiling, add in the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the tea bags (I usually use 12 tea bags/Gallon) and brew to desired strength. I like mine strong, so I leave the tea bags in the pot until the tea is to room temperature. You can put it in the refrigerator if you want to cool it off quicker. This is very important since hot tea will kill your SCOBY.
   
   
   
   Sterilize your brew container by swishing some vinegar around or running it through the dishwasher on the hot cycle. I bought one of these to use as my brew container since it makes bottling into these bad boys easier. This is also very important since you don't want any "bad" bacteria to get into your controlled fermentation environment. Pour the tea into your brew container, add the vinegar/starter liquid, and add the SCOBY. From this point on, do not let the kombucha touch anything metal or any non-sterilized equipment. Cover your brew vessel with a clean dish cloth/coffee filter/paper towels and let sit 7-10 days, depending on how vinegar-y you like it.
   
   
   
   That's pretty much it. Just make sure everything is clean and sterile when handling the SCOBY and you will be fine. There are a bunch of recipes and how-to's out there as well, I've just summed them up in this post. Happy Brewing!
   
   
   
   Edit: spelling

Popcorn can be healthy if you use as little oil as possible and skip all the cheese and sugar/caramel ideas. Olive oil is great for finishing but has too low a burning point for popping and will release carcinogens and lose nutrients when it burns. Safflower oil is great for this, has a much higher burning point (well out of popcorn popping range) and is close to olive oil in terms of nutritional value.



For topping the popcorn, you should start infusing your olive oil. Just get some small flip cap bottles and add whatever fresh herbs you want. Just be sure to keep the herbs submerged in oil or they will mold. Some of my favorites:

• Garlic infused oil with sea salt (use a mortar and pestle to finely crush sea salt into popcorn friendly salt)
  
• Rosemary infused oil with sea salt and black pepper
  
• Cilantro infused oil with sea salt, cayenne pepper and a sprinkling of fresh lime juice
  
• Oregano & crushed red pepper flake infused olive oil (not too much!) with sea salt
