Description

I love starting my day with a glass of this style of water kefir–Feel free to go extra heavy on the fresh ginger and turmeric!

Ingredients

800 mL cultured water kefir
1 lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger root
2 Tbsp peeled and freshly grated turmeric root, or 2 tsp ground turmeric

Instructions

Add lemon juice, grated turmeric and ginger to the kefir, and mix well.
Pour the kefir into pressure resistant bottles and close tightly.
Let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours to ferment a second time. After 24 hours, remove the lid and taste. For a stronger flavor, let sit for another 12-24 hours.
Refrigerate and enjoy!

Note

You can add twice the recommended quantity of ginger and turmeric, if you are looking for bigger flavors in your final bottled kefir.
