Cultures For Health, Real Kefir, Water Kefir Grains, 1 Packet, 5.4g

Making naturally gut-healthy soda at home is as easy as mixing sugar into water - our Water Kefir Grains will do the rest. Add fruit or juice for a refreshing, bubbly drink!

Each bag contains:
1 packet of traditional, heirloom-style water kefir grains.

Instructions
STEP 1: To get started with making water kefir, you first need to activate your dehydrated water kefir grains.

1. In a glass jar or plastic container, prepare sugar water by combining ½ cup of hot water and ¼ cup of sugar. Allow sugar to dissolve and add 3 cups of cool water.

2. Empty the entire packet of dehydrated water kefir grains into the room temperature sugar water.

Protip! Temperature is important for your grains to thrive. Always keep your grains between 68°F and 85°F. Any lower, it will take much longer to culture. Any higher, harmful bacteria will start to grow.

3. Cover with a coffee filter or cloth secured by a rubber band and let the grains rehydrate for 3 days at room temperature. After 3 days, the grains should be plump and translucent: they’re activated and ready to make kefir! Strain out the grains and discard the sugar water.

STEP 2: Making water kefir (once your grains have been activated)

1. In a glass jar, prepare sugar water by combining ½ cup of hot water and ¼ cup of sugar. Allow sugar to dissolve and add 3 cups of cool water.

2. Add activated water kefir grains to the jar.

3. Cover with a coffee filter or cloth secured by a rubber band and let culture for 24 hours. The liquid should turn cloudy. If not, wait another 24 hours.

Protip! The warmer the culturing area, the faster your water kefir will culture.

4. Strain out the grains. The liquid is your finished water kefir.

Your grains can be used over-and-over to make water kefir. Just follow the previous steps every 24 hours.
