WKG

[Guest guest]

Dear Marilyn,

I got confused too.

So, now my WKG are going absolutely crazy. I can see them swirling up and down

from across the room, not just seeing them when I lean over and look through my

bifocals. Last night there were even bits of WKG swirling up and down. It is

now 14 hours later and it still looks like a thunderstorm with the going up and

coming down. I expect to see a tornado anytime soon. I am sure that the grains

are also growing like crazy; they are sitting on the bottom of the container,

but are much thicker and bigger.

Here is my formula.

2 cups of WKG

1/2 cup of Newmans Own grape juice

1/2 cup of date sugar

1 tbs. tart cherry concentrate

1 tbs. of agave syrup

6 cups of boiled and cooled water

I am not complaining. I may be bragging; I am not sure yet.

The big difference from the previous batch is the 1/2 cup of date sugar rather

than a 1/2 cup of white sugar.

I thought we were talking about milk kefir grains.

It is very common for water kefir grains not to grow. It is common for them

to grow like gangbusters, too, in certain homes. Milk kefir grains always

grow with proper care. Water kefir grains won't necessarily grow with proper

care. I think it has to do with water quality. That's why we are trying

herbal tea now.
