Water Kefir?
Ok, my milk kefir grains are about triple what they were when I got them in the mail (thanks again, IpsyBipsy*Mum!). I think I have someone that would like some grains, but I was thinking about trying to make water kefir...
Can I make water kefir using milk kefir grains? |
Re: Water Kefir?
Why, yes, you can!
I have done it. I think though once you use them that way they may not work for milk anymore, but obviously it isn't an issue as you have such an abundance. |
Re: Water Kefir?
Do you have a link as to how to do it?
I have been googling it but there are *so* many ways to do it! (I am especially interested in the lemonade water kefir, but don't know about adding the dried fruits to it....) |
Re: Water Kefir?
His website has everything you ever needed to know about Kefir - very cool! http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/...#Kefir-d-acqua

Re: Water Kefir?
Lemon kefir is so good!! For the fruit, we used dried figs -- we can get them in bulk at Ingles so it's not terribly pricey. This is so good!
Here are the directions I used to make mine (from Praise): >> · Add 6 cups water to an 8-cup glass jar [Do not fill any jar more than >> 3/4 full. This is very important because the CO2 gas naturally produced >> during fermentation will produce high pressure, which has the potential to >> cause an explosion]. >> · Dissolve 1/2 cup of sugar. (I used turbinado sugar) >> · Add a lemon cut in half [Only add lemon rind if the fruit is not waxed >> or sprayed with pesticides or fungicides, otherwise peel to remove rind or >> zest]. (I buy non-organic lemons for my kefir, and just peel them) >> · Add dried fruits and kefir grains. (I normally add 2 dried figs for the >> dried fruit part) >> · Fix lid on jar tight and let contents ferment for 24 to 48 hours at room >> temperature. (I do mine in two day rotations) >> · Strain the bubbly kefir (using a stainless steel strainer) and >> if using translucent water kefir-grains rinse the grains with cold water. >> The strained beverage is ready for consumption. (Yum! Best with fresh >> lemons, but alas, none grow near me...) >> Simply repeat the process for preparing the next and ongoing batches. |
