Description
A delicious probiotic-rich drink that’s easy to make at home and great for digestion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tablespoons of kéfir grains
- 2 cups of milk (any kind, preferably full-fat)
Instructions
- Scoop one to two tablespoons of kéfir grains into a clean jar.
- Add about two cups of milk to the jar.
- Cover the jar with cloth and secure it with a rubber band.
- Leave the jar at room temperature for about a day.
- Check the kéfir; it should smell tangy and look a bit thick. If not, let it sit a few hours longer.
- For fizzier kéfir, leave it longer; for less sour, shorten the time.
- Strain the grains once the desired taste is achieved and refrigerate your fresh kéfir.
- Repeat with new milk to continue making kéfir.
Notes
Start slow when incorporating kéfir into your diet to let your body adjust.
