Description

A delicious probiotic-rich drink that’s easy to make at home and great for digestion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tablespoons of kéfir grains
  • 2 cups of milk (any kind, preferably full-fat)

Instructions

  1. Scoop one to two tablespoons of kéfir grains into a clean jar.
  2. Add about two cups of milk to the jar.
  3. Cover the jar with cloth and secure it with a rubber band.
  4. Leave the jar at room temperature for about a day.
  5. Check the kéfir; it should smell tangy and look a bit thick. If not, let it sit a few hours longer.
  6. For fizzier kéfir, leave it longer; for less sour, shorten the time.
  7. Strain the grains once the desired taste is achieved and refrigerate your fresh kéfir.
  8. Repeat with new milk to continue making kéfir.

Notes

Start slow when incorporating kéfir into your diet to let your body adjust.
