We LOVE our water kefir
Just want to say a big thank you for my lovely healthy kefir grains which arrived today. They are so large! Much better than some I bought elsewhere.
Loving the water Kefir making. Very easy. Good fiz. Great instructions!!!
With the warmer weather and Christmas looming I decided to try the Water Kefir grains with the hope of making a healthier soda alternative. The whole process couldn’t be easier! I followed the clear concise instructions and within 3 days I had my first lightly carbonated fresh lemonade. With minimal effort and ingredients, the results are a super tasty and refreshing to drink. The creativity with the flavour selections is limitless but Cornelia does provide recipes and suggestions for your reference. I have successfully made lemonade, ginger and turmeric, fresh strawberry mint plus pineapple and lemon verbena. Although there is sugar added at the start of the process, the grains/cultures convert this to produce the carbonation. The final degree of sweetness can be tempered by your added flavourings and the length of fermentation. The grains multiply rapidly so I have more than enough to make continuous batches for all the Christmas celebrations and well beyond. For a very modest investment the rewards are economical bespoke beverages bursting with health benefits, a bonus that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

One thing that should be in just about everyone's diet are fermented or cultured foods. Not only are they packed with flavor, but they're positively brimming with probiotics.
Those little microorganisms support your immune system and help to revive and maintain gut health. Fermented foods are also rich in B vitamins, food enzymes and key antioxidants that support healthy cells.
