A kefir starter is ideal for anyone who would like to start making their own probiotic food, or would like to help their friends or family to live a healthier life! Helping someone to include probiotic foods in their diet can make digestion easier for them and bring about a general sense of wellbeing. A huge spectrum of people benefits from kefir every day, and it is suitable for almost anyone! By getting yourself a kefir starter you can improve not only your own health, but the health of your friends and family too.The benefits of probiotics are well-documented, and recognised by the World Health Organisation. They are thought to improve digestion, fortify the body against illness, and increase energy levels! Although probiotics are only recently becoming popular (you may have seen yoghurts at your local supermarket that claim to contain “good bacteria”), they are quickly becoming a more common part of people’s daily diet.The main reason that kefir has found such popularity is that it is so easy to cultivate! Water kefir is an increasingly popular probiotic drink that you can make fairly easily and inexpensively at home. It is a simple combination of “water kefir grains,” sugar, and water. In the instructions below, note how you add flavor with dried fruit and fruit juice.The biggest trick with water kefir is to find “water kefir grains.” They are a symbiotic mass of bacteria and they reproduce. Vendors on the Internet sell them. Perhaps you have a friend locally who can share some with you. The key is not to mistake the grains for milk kefir with those for water kefir. The milk kefir grains are white; water kefir grains are more translucent. When you have acquired the grains, follow these simple instructions for making your probiotic water kefir frink.Water kefir instructions: Innoculate the WaterDissolve 1/3 cup sugar with warm water in a clean glass jar.Add one quart of water. (See instructions below on adding juice or fruit as well.)Add grains.Place in cupboard or other spot out of direct sunlight.Cover jar with a clean dish towel.Let sit for 24 hoursStrain grains from liquidAdd juice, reuse grains. Go back to step 1 with grains.In the steps above, if you add no fruit or juice, you will have sugar water with beneficial bacteria. It’s not too tasty. To get some flavor, you have a couple of options:One-step kefir soda (uses dry fruit)1/3 cup of sugar dissolved in 1 quart waterAdd grains when water has cooledAdd 1-3 pieces of dried fruit (e.g., pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango)Ferment for 24 hours or until it reaches desired sweetness. (A longer fermentation process will reduce the sugar content and raise the alcohol content, though this recipe will not turn into “hooch.” There is not enough sugar.)Strain grains, start new batch, drink soda.
