Ingredients
- 250 ml fresh whole milk I used a2 Milk™
- 1 tablespoon milk kefir grains or powder
Instructions
- Start by placing the kefir grains or powder into the jar, then pour the milk in.
- Cover the jar with the lid, but do not close it all the way, to allow the kefir to “breath”. Alternatively, cover the jar with a cheesecloth and secure with a band. Allow the kefir to sit at room temperature (ideally between 19-24 degrees) for about 24 hours.
- Once the 24 hours have passed, gently stir the kefir. It's ok if it's a little too thick, once strained it will reach a thinner consistency. Using a strainer or kitchen cloth*, strain the prepared mixture into another jar, to separate the grains from the ready-to-drink kefir.
- *If you’re using the milk kefir powder, you don’t necessarily need to strain, and the kefir is ready to drink immediately.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Drink kefir straight-up, or add it to smoothies, lassi or to smoothie bowls. You can also use it in place of yogurt/buttermilk/milk when baking cakes, muffins or pancakes.
Notes
- Store milk kefir in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
