Water Kefir

Water Kefir, like milk kefir, is simple to make. It is fermented
at room temperature with kefir grains, water, sugar and dried
fruit for about 24-48 hours. It has many health benefits, a
great flavor and is also well-tolerated by many diabetics
(unlike regular soda pop). It's much easier to make than
yogurt, beer or wine, has a larger spectrum of probiotics and
the sustainable grains make it very economical.
Water Kefir (Tibicos, Búlgaros, Japanese Water Crystals,
California Bees) is a wonderful mildly zesty fermented
sugar-water beverage.  It can be likened to a natural, light and
refreshing soda - perfect for a healthy drink alternative. It can
also be used to make Tepache. It has a low glycemic load and no
caffeine either. Most speculate it originated in Mexico where it
thrived in the sugary water of the Ountia (prickly pear) cactus. To

Authentic kefir can only be made by real kefir grains, not
from any kind of packet or powder. The unique live and
self-propagating grains make this a beverage you cannot
find in the stores. The grains range in color from clear to
brown depending on the sugar used when fermenting!
