Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a clean glass jar, combine the water kefir grains, filtered water, and organic cane sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
-
Add the sliced lemon and orange to the jar. These citrus fruits will infuse the kefir with a zesty flavor and a burst of Vitamin C.
-
Cover the jar with a breathable cloth or paper towel secured with a rubber band. This allows the fermentation process to take place while keeping out any debris.
-
Place the jar in a warm spot, away from direct sunlight, and let it ferment for 24-48 hours. Check the kefir after 24 hours to see if it has reached your desired level of tanginess.
-
Once fermented, remove the citrus slices from the jar and strain out the kefir grains using a fine-mesh sieve.
-
Transfer the strained kefir into glass bottles or jars with a tight-fitting lid. You can enjoy it as is or opt for a second fermentation for added fizziness.
-
For a second fermentation, leave the bottled kefir at room temperature for an additional 24-48 hours. This will create a natural carbonation effect.
-
After the second fermentation, refrigerate the kefir to slow down the fermentation process and enjoy it chilled.
