Servings

servings
Prep Time

5

minutes
Fermentation Time

24-48 Hours

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C. Sugar

  • 3-4 C. Water

  • 1-3 Tbsp. Kefir Grains

  • 1 Qt Jar

Directions

  • Dissolve sugar in the water. (I often find that about 1/2 C of hot water from my kumkum is perfect to dissolve the sugar in and then I top it off with cold water.)
  • Add the kefir grains into the your sugar water (if you've used boiling water to dissolve the sugar then make sure the water is cooler than 100* before adding the kefir)
  • Cover jar with a thin square of fabric or a coffee filter, securing with a rubber band. Allow to culture at room temperature for 24 hours.
  • Then strain off the liquid and start over again 🙂

Notes

  • It's good practice to use brown sugar or add in a touch of molasses every couple of batches to keep your kefir grains healthy.
