Fermenting time1 day
Course: Drinks
Keyword: kefir

Ingredients

  • Kefir Grains
  • Fresh whole milk raw or pasteurized

Instructions

  • Fill a quart or half gallon-sized jar with fresh whole milk
  • Add kefir grains
  • Stir to incorporate
  • Allow it to sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours I like to only do 24 because I don’t want it to be too sour
  • After it has fermented the desired amount, strain the kefir into a new jar using a fine-mesh sieve to catch the kefir grains.
  • At this point you can either start a new batch of kefir or you can put them in the fridge for a few days until you are ready to start more kefir.
