Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Hi Pam, I have kefir grains, and can make fresh kefir every day, just by adding milk and letting it sit for 24 hours. I put the grains in a mason jar, fill 3/4 full with milk, put on a lid and leave it out on the counter top. When it is ready I take a plastic strainer and strain out the finished kefir, putting the grains into a clean mason jar to repeat the process. Be warned that kefir is a drink which tastes like plain yoghurt. It is an acquired taste, and if you don't like plain yoghurt, you would have to add honey/maple syrup or whatever, or make fruit smoothies (which are delish!) Most people who stick with it eventually come to love the taste of plain kefir :-) The grains are free. We, on the kefir list, never charge for them and will be happy to give you some if you live nearby. If not, we charge a nominal fee of about $5 for postage and packing. When your grains multiply, it is hoped that you will reciprocate by giving them to others who are interested in making kefir :-) To find out more about kefir, check out this excellent site: http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html You are welcome to join the kefir list "kefir_making" at . Drop in to find some grains (please state which city you live in when asking for grains), and stick around for a chat (they talk about health-related things as well as kefir). Cheers, and the K9's >I love kefir and I would like to know how you have successfully made it and where you get the stuff to start making it etc... Quote
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 NO! Don't you do it! I have been warned that canned goats milk tastes awful! Save your pennies and write to that nice Mr. Mercola :-) and the K9's ----- >I see the canned goats milk on the shelf at winco, is that worth the plunge? and what is that equivalent to? Quote
