Beautifully versatile, water kefir can be flavoured in endless ways to suit your taste, from fresh and fruity to bold and botanical. It’s a delicious, feel-good alternative to conventional soft drinks, without the high sugar content, artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
You’ll learn step-by-step how to make the first fermentation using multiple base recipes, along with helpful tips and guidance for the second fermentation process. The guide also includes instructions for taking a break from brewing and how to safely store your grains.
To inspire your creativity, there’s a dedicated recipe section featuring delicious flavour combinations such as ginger kefir lemonade, elderflower, lemon verbena, coconut variations, and fruit-infused brews. You’ll also find a recovery brew guide for reviving your grains, plus a helpful FAQ section to support you along the way.
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.

Water kefir has a mildly sweet, slightly tart and refreshing taste similar to a very light, non-alcoholic cider. It is much less acidic and "funky" than kombucha and is naturally caffeine-free.
The exact flavour profile changes and depends on how you ferment it. Because the plain base (1st fermentation with grains) is relatively neutral, it easily takes on whatever flavors you add to it. Many people bottle the plain kefir with fruit, juice, or herbs (2nd fermentation without the grains) for another 1–2 days. This adds natural fruity flavors and creates a fizzy, soda-like sparkle.
With proper care, your grains can last indefinitely.
Additional Water Kefir Complete Food can be purchased here.
Finally, after my third attempt, I have water Kefir that is nice tasting (Ginger) thanks to your kit and kefir food. Thanks to Korukai keep up the great work, I am checking out the milk kefir/cheese as my next try (I feel like a mad scientist)
The Water Kefir Guide is amazing. If anyone fails to make good Kefir after reading the guide properly, they are not paying attention. Previously, when here in NZ, I was just given basic instructions about how to make Kefir. No instruction on 2nd fermentation was given, so I’m learning fast & this is going to be good.
Wow! These kefir grains are fantastic! They really do multiply.In just 5 days they have increased from 3 tablespoons to 8.And the grains are not as small as a previous batch that I bought elsewhere which hardly increased in numbers.The instructions from this seller are superb too.Very helpful and informative.Im very impressed.Thank you Korukai!
