Making Water Kefir

Water Kefir

• 1/4 -1/3 cup of water kefir grains
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup organic cane sugar 
• 1 quart of filtered water or spring water
• 4 drops Liquid minerals or 1 tea of molasses (kefir grains thrive on minerals and I notice a difference when I don't add them, they also make them grow)

Take sugar and put it in the jar put about 1 cup hot water in....swish it around until sugar is dissolved. Add the rest of the water, minerals and kefir grains. Put on the lid and let sit in a warm place for 24 to 48 hours. Strain off the finished liquid into another container using a plastic strainer (grains don't like metal), once you rinse your grains you can use them for your next batch. Now you can flavor your Water Kefir.

Fruit Juice kefir: I use about 1 cup of juice and then fill the bottle with rest of the way with Kefir....shake and leave in a dark warm place to ferment for another 48 hours. Then refrigerate and enjoy.

This is the only way that I have made flavoured kefir. I am still experimenting....have fun with it. The kids love it and it is so so good for you.
