Step 1
Place
Live Kefir Grains (1/2 tsp)
into a pint-sized mason jar of
Milk (2 cups)
.
Step 2
Cover it with a plastic lid, coffee filter, or a tight (woven) cloth like a tea towel secured with a rubber band around the lip of the jar.
Step 3
Set on a counter away from the light. The ideal room temperature is 75 degrees F (24 degrees C), if it’s colder it will take longer to ferment. It will take 12-36 hours depending on the grains’ strength, temperature, and your personal taste. It is usually ready within 24 hours.
Step 4
Strain the Live Kefir Grains through a fine-meshed strainer into a mason jar, cover with a lid, and store in the refrigerator. It is ready to drink or use. Reserve the Kefir grains!
Step 5
You can use the strained grains to start the same process over again to make the next batch of Kefir. If you need to take a break from Kefir making, place the grains in a small mason jar, fully cover grains with milk, and seal with the mason jar lid. Label your jar and store it in the refrigerator. It will last for about 6-10 days before you’ll have to reactivate them.
