Method
Preparation of Water Kefir

- 2
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to provide acidity that helps activate the kefir grains.
- 3
Add Dried Fruit
Add the dried fruit to the mixture, which will provide additional sugars for the fermentation process.
- 4
Cover and Ferment
Cover the jar with a breathable cloth (like cheesecloth) or a loose lid to allow air flow while keeping bugs out. Let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
Flavoring (Optional)
- 5
Flavoring the Kefir
If desired, after the initial fermentation, strain out the kefir grains and dried fruit. Add fresh ginger, mint leaves, or berries to the liquid for additional flavor.

Second Fermentation
Transfer the flavored kefir to a clean bottle, seal it tightly, and let it ferment for another 24 hours to develop carbonation.
- 7
Chill and Serve
After the second fermentation, refrigerate the kefir to stop the fermentation. Serve chilled over ice.
