The Homemade Kefir

DIY kefir to boost your gut health and immunity!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole milk (or any non-dairy alternative, such as coconut milk).
• 1 tablespoon of kefir grains (available at health stores or online).

---

Equipments:

• A clean glass jar (16 oz or larger).
• A plastic or wooden spoon (avoid metal, as it may react with the kefir grains).
• A breathable cover (e.g., a coffee filter or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band).

---

Preperation:

• Pour the milk into the clean glass jar.
• Add the kefir grains to the milk.
• Cover the jar with the breathable cover to keep out dust but allow airflow.

---

Fermentation:

• Leave the jar at room temperature (65-85°F) for 12-24 hours.
• Stir gently once or twice during the fermentation process.

---

Strain & Serve:

• Once the milk thickens and takes on a tangy smell, it's ready.
• Strain the kefir into a separate jar using a plastic or nylon strainer to remove the grains.
• Store the finished kefir in the refrigerator and reuse the grains for your next batch.
