How to Make Water Kefir

                                                   

    To make your own water kefir you will need:

*Grains

* Mason jar

* organic sugar

* Purified water  

You can get grains from Cultures for Health. 

Directions:

  For every quart of water (4 cups) add 3 tablespoon of sugar and kefir grains.

This is the best sugar to use  Organic Whole Cane Sugar- unbleached and unrefined

There are a few grocery stores that have it or you can buy it on Amazon or use the most organic, unbleached, unrefined sugar.

To start, I  add 3T of sugar to 4 cups of room temp water stir very well with a wooden spoon until all the sugar has dissolved. I then add 3 T of water kefir grains.

I use RO water or you can get water from Walmart or Target using their machine. but if you have tap water you will want to boil your water first. Just make sure that your water is cooled back down to room temperature before adding your grains.

Next, secure a coffee filter or something else breathable with a rubber band.

Let it culture for 24 to 72 hours depending on your preferred taste. Our favorite is 36 hours. The longer you let it sit the less sugary it will taste. You can taste test over these days to see which you prefer.

Then you just have to strain. You can use your grains to start the process again on another batch Just make sure the water and sugar are stirred before adding the grains, NEVER add water to the grains, you don't want to upset the grains. You can store your grains in a glass container, just every couple days add some sugar to continue feeding the grains. When trying to find out if your grains are still alive take a spoon and move the grains around, if you hear a crackling noise they are still good.  Now drink!
