Re: Follow up: Water Kefir & Cranberry Juic

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

If I were you I'd get two jars going after you get a cup or two of water

grains. One jar is for sugar water to keep them growing and the other jar

for all the drinks you like, just in case they don't grow well.

I am getting 100% growth in 48 hours. One cup becomes two cups in 48 hours.

My recipe is:

1 cup water grains

1 quart RO water

1/3 cup organic cane juice crystals

1 tablespoon Rapadura

1/8 tsp coral calcium

18 tsp sodium bicarbonate

Marilyn,

In your recipe (copied below) you say 18 tsp sodium bicarbonate. Do you mean

1/8 teaspoon?

Thanks,

Beth

I'm just wondering, would this work also with MILK Kefir grains?

And my old grains I got from Marilyn a couple or more years ago,

and are going strong still.

The idea with this recipe is to get water grains to grow. Milk kefir grains will

not grow in a sugar water medium, only in milk.
