Water kefir
Mexican 10 Mins Prep
- Fill a 1½L jar with the water along with the sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add the kefir grains and date. Cover the jar with a muslin cloth and leave on your kitchen counter for 2-3 days. The water should taste slightly sweet but tangy.
- In a second jar, add the 375g mix of chopped fresh ripe fruit (stone fruit, berries, tropical fruit), fresh ginger slices, sliced lemons, oranges and whole spices.
- Remove the date from the water kefir and strain it into the fruit jar.
- Save the water kefir grains to make another batch in a small amount of the kefir water in the fridge. Place the lid on the jar and leave on the counter for 24 hours. Open the lid every few hours to release some of the pressure.
- After 24 hours, the fruit will float to the surface. Refrigerate it until cold. Feed your kefir granules with 1 tablespoon of sugar every week.
