Second Fermentation - Fruit Flavored Kefir:

2.  Cover and culture for another 24-48 hours.
3.  Discard or eat fruit - then refrigerate your flavored Kefir.  Enjoy!






Our new favorite drink in the house - out with the soda in with the flavored water kefir!  This recipe was so easy, just hard once again finding the right grains in which you can order on the internet.  But simple and delicious.  The family is looking forward to making several flavors and bottling them up and keeping them in the refrigerator.  This process began on September 3 and we were drinking our flavored water kefir by September 8 after the second fermentation process - Delicious!
