Fermented Summer Gazpacho Kefir

With this gazpacho kefir recipe, you'll create a fizzy, bright, and delicious probiotic and gut-friendly beverage! I traditionally will allow the water kefir and gazpacho mixture to ferment at room temperature for roughly 12 hours, as extra fermentation time can make this process somewhat dangerous!

Instructions

6 steps
1

Blend the gazpacho ingredients (excluding the water kefir) together until you reach a smooth puree.

2

Taste, and add salt, vinegar, or olive oil as desired to balance.

3

Mix roughly 2 oz of fermented water kefir liquid with roughly 6 oz of gazpacho, per 8 oz bottle. Repeat with remaining bottles.

4

Cover the water kefir mixed with gazpacho and allow the contents to ferment at room temperature for roughly 12 hours.  Avoid over-fermenting, as the contents are likely to explode.

5

After roughly 12 hours of secondary fermentation with the water kefir and gazpacho, transfer the bottles to the fridge to cool completely. If you over-ferment, your bottle will be too carbonated...

 

6

When ready to serve, carefully open the bottle and pour into a chilled glass.
