Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat up 2 cups of filtered water in a small saucepan
- add 1/4 cup of sugar to a quart sized mason jar and pinch of sea salt if using
- once the water is heated add it to the jar with the sugar and stir until dissolved
- fill up jar rest of the way with filtered water and place in the refrigerator until cooled or add ice cubes to cool it down if you don't want to wait
- Once cooled add in your grains. Place a coffee filter with the ring as the lid. Allow to ferment to 1-2 days. The longer it sits the less sweet tasting it will be.
- After the first ferment do the second one- Add 1/2 cup of fruit juice to the swing top bottles using a funnel. Add in the fermented water kefir and close lids and ferment for another 12-24 hours.
- After second ferment pour over ice and enjoy
Notes
To maintain the grains you will have to keep feeding them fresh sugar water every 1-3 days.
To take break from making the kefir you can stick them in fresh sugar water in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
