Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Aha, we live and learn. I'm not overly bothered about water Kefir for myself. Mam used to refer to me as " The calf " on account of the amount of milk i put away, so no Lacto-intolerance there. I was just curious about the water one, I wasn't aware there were any ingredients other than water & kefir grains involved Nn. England.

England. Hi there ... It is more expensive to produce than KT. Lemons and ginger costing quite a bit. I use half a lemon or lime peeled and sliced...about a teaspoon of sliced ginger or more to taste....a handful (maybe fifty?)of unsulphured raisins and a half cup (100 grams) of sugar in a two liter wide mouthed jar and a pinch or two of Himalayan Sea Salt for the added minerals. Then I fill it up with spring or well water. Treated water or purified water will not do. I tried other, more expensive, dried fruits...works ok...but seems the raisins give a better flavor. Hope I didn't repeat myself... Gayle (WI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I've just been using the grains and water and sugar on occasion, or grains, water, sugar and a dollop of whatever juice i had handy. I found fruit made a mess o things, it was a bitch to get the grains and the fuit to seperate, especially with fig seeds! thought that did send it a lovely rose colour On Dec 1, 2007 11:41 PM, Gayle S.
