Hey y'all.
Water Kefir
Water Grains (ordered mine off of Amazon)
4 C pure clean filtered water
½ C Organic Sugar (your choice)
½ C Natural Grape Juice (or any natural juice of your choice if you want to add any to your second fermentation.)
Put your water kefirs in a large glass jar, add in your water and sugar and gently stir everything. Add a towel or a breathable cloth on top and secure with a rubber band so no bugs get in. Every other day change out your water and sugar (put the kefir grains back in the glass jar) and use clean water and organic sugar (or molasses) until your water grains start to ferment. Once your grains are “strong” you can start making your water kefir soda. Instead of pouring out your water and sugar mixture, pour it into a air tight bottle and add in your natural juice, let it ferment another day or two. As you get to get more familiar with your grains, you’ll want to add more or less sugar/water/juice depending on your taste and the temperature in your house will also affect your fermentation. Experiment with different things and take care of your grains, if the multiply too fast, give them to your friends, compost them, or make smoothies from them. Cheers to gut health!
Enjoy!
