Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp milk kefir grains
  • 2 cups raw A2A2 milk

Method
 

  1. In a mason jar, put in 2 tbsp milk kefir grains and pour in 2 cups raw A2A2 milk.
  2. Place lid on top, but do not seal.
  3. Let it sit on your counter for about 12 to 24 hours depending on how thick and sour you want it.
  4. After 12 to 24 hours, pour the jar into a strainer to separate your kefir from the grains. Use a spoon to stir it around and strain faster since it will be thick.
  5. Save the grains and put them in a new jar to repeat the process for a new batch.
  6. Enjoy your homemade probiotic kefir by itself, with maple syrup or honey, or in a smoothie!

Notes

If you do not want to consume your kefir right away, you can store the kefir in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. 
If you continue to reuse the grains and make more batches of kefir, you can add to your kefir jar in the fridge.
To slow down the 12 to 24 hour fermentation, you can put the jar (grains & milk) in the fridge for another day or two before straining.
