My Water Kefir

I was introduced to Water Kefir when I was searching to learn Kombucha Tea, my instructor was unable to find a suitable cooking studio and ended up teaching us in an Eco-Farm Restuarant at Signal Hill and she said Water Kefir is much easier to handle and learn and she taught us that instead.

Here are my first attempt photos.

First Fermentation Process :-

1/4 Cup Sugar 

1 Litre Clean Water

Water Kefir starter (1 Tbsp)

Need about 2-3 days to ferment to see bubbles. When it is starting or waking up or adjusting to new home, it will need longer time to ferment. While adjusting, you may need to throw away the water after 3 days and keep changing it till it ferments within 3 days.

Once in a while, add pinch of Soda Bicarbonate and use jaggery sugar, water kefir loves these and will grow more.

Second Fermentation Process :-

1 Tbsp Sugar (pour into bottle)

100 ml Juice or Fruit Tea or Roselle 

400 - 500 ml Water Kefir Water

Ferment for max 2 to 3 days, flavour is up to your family likes and your creativity.
