A scoby can be purchased online. It will arrive in a dehydrated form and would come with instructions on how to brew it. If you find it difficult to follow written instructions there are video tutorials that can be found online.

Brewing an entire gallon of your own tea will just cost you a couple of bucks. Of course, it's easier to buy the bottled drink at the store. Although, that will run you about $3-$5 per bottle. That can get expensive and there is just something special about drinking something you brewed yourself.
The process of brewing the tea is easy. After brewing a gallon of sweetened tea and cooling it down to room temperature, you just add a small amount of store bought kombucha and a scoby. The scoby should float, but don't worry if it doesn't. Just cover the jar with a coffee filter, secure with rubber band and wait. Leave it in a warm place, out of the sun, for 7-30 days. The longer you leave it fermenting, the sweeter it will taste so use your preference.
