Main Ingredients

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Base

In a large glass jar, dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 4 cups of filtered water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

2. Add Water Kefir Grains

Once the sugar water is ready, add the water kefir grains to the jar. Stir gently to mix.

3. Fermentation

Cover the jar with a clean cloth or coffee filter and secure it with a rubber band. Leave the jar at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the desired level of fermentation.

4. Flavor the Kefir

After fermentation, strain the water kefir to remove the grains. Pour the liquid back into a clean jar and add 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of fresh fruits. You can also add any optional flavorings at this stage.

5. Second Fermentation

Cover the jar again and let it sit for another 12 to 24 hours to develop flavors. Make sure to leave some space at the top of the jar as carbonation will build up.

6. Bottle and Chill

After the second fermentation, strain the kefir again into bottles, leaving some space at the top of each bottle. Seal the bottles and refrigerate. Chill before serving.
