Ingredients
Instructions
-
Mix your first-ferment water kefir with desired fruit juice. Pour the flavored water kefir into a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) glass baking dish.
-
Transfer the mixture to the freezer for 20 minutes or until it develops a crackly, thin layer of ice on the top.
-
Using a fork, stir and scrape the ice - you should get a slushy consistency.
-
Return it to the freezer and repeat the process until no liquid remains and the mixture is fully frozen, with the texture of fluffy snow (generally about 3 hours).
-
Cover tightly, then leave in the freezer.
-
When it’s time to serve, scoop into individual glass bowls.You can use the same process with fresh fruit juices to create a yummy and refreshing frozen treat!
Note
Extra tips:
- For best results, you want to use a twice fermented water kefir, with the added flavor of your choice. We recommend using a naturally sweet fruit juice, like mango, pineapple, or blood oranges.
