Organic Whole Milk Kefir
If yogurt is your “go to” for daily probiotics, maybe it’s time you give yogurt’s big brother a try.
Yield: 4 cups
Cost: 1.75
Equipment
- Nylon strainer
- Mason Jars with lids
- silicone spatula
Materials
- 4 cups Fresh Organic whole milk low fat or skim is also acceptable
- 1 teaspoon Active Kefir Grains
Instructions
- Place the grains into a Mason Jar, add the milk and cover with jar lid. Leave on a kitchen counter undisturbed for 12-24 hours or until thickened. Once you have thickened Kefir, strain into a clean mason jar using a nylon strainer.
- You can either refrigerate the strained Kefir for a semi-sweet Kefir, or cover and leave on the counter at room temperature for another 12-24 hours to complete a 2nd fermentation. This will produce a stronger flavor and slightly thicker Kefir.
- Place the recovered grains into a new Mason Jar and repeat the process of adding fresh milk, covering with jar lid and allowing another 12-24 hours to ferment.
- Repeat this process for an endless supply of Kefir.
