Making Kefir

What is kefir you might ask.
Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance your "inner ecosystem." More nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt, it supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins.

I have been making kefir for the past few months using raw unpasteurized milk. I usually can't handle eating too much dairy, but the kefir is easily digested and super tasty blended with frozen fruit as a smoothie.

Here's what kefir grains look like.


How To Make Kefir
1. Place kefir grains in clean mason jar.
2. Pour milk over top of grains till desired amount.
3. Let sit on the counter for 1-2 days till runny yogurt texture is achieved.
4. Use in smoothies or strain through cheesecloth to achieve a thicker more yogurt like texture.
