Kefir Soda Starter
Perishable
Our Kefir Soda Starter is one of the best ways to have your soda and fizz without all the harmful additives and unhealthy sugars and sugar replacements. This soda contains beneficial bacteria strains and good yeasts to help you make a fun bubbly, and healthy replacement for soda! Each package can make you dozens of liters of kefir soda if you make it often.
The strains and yeasts metabolize the natural sugar found in fruit juice or coconut water, resulting in an effervescent drink that is loaded with probiotics.
Depending on the temperature in your home, it usually takes 3-5 days of fermentation for the first batch to reach your desired taste and fizz. You can use some of the resulting beverage as a starter for many subsequent batches. These will ferment more quickly in 1-2 days. Be careful it gets really fizzy!
Add your choice of flavor and spices to the basic recipe to make a range of fizzy drinks, fit for any occasion! See the included instructions for some fun recipes or check out more recipes here.
What You'll Get
- 4 packages of Kefir Soda Starter
- Instruction booklet with Recipes and FAQs
*Even though this product is gluten-free, it was packaged in a facility that also handles wheat, soy, eggs, milk, & fish.
Important! Pop The Top Every Day
Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or thick glass bottles made for beer or brewing. Old GT's synergy kombucha bottles will work too. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.
Then while fermenting, check them every day by slowly popping the top. After fermentation and they're in the fridge, pop the top every day to release the pressure as well. These can get a lot of pressure and are super bubbly. You'll want to check them often to release the pressure.

Instructions
- Add the Kefir Soda Starter packet to your juice and stir till dissolved.
- Add your juice and starter to a 32-ounce bottle. Using a funnel makes it easier. (Make sure you use thick glass bottles such as Grolsch. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.)
- Fill the rest of the bottle with water leaving an inch of room at the top.
- Allow it to ferment for 3-5 days or until bubbly and fizzy. If your home is 75°F or warmer it will usually take 3-4 days. Colder homes can take 5 days or longer, but you'll need to check it by popping the top and see if it's getting fizzy. It will start to bubble out the top if it does.
- When it's done, you can pour in a glass and enjoy right away or place it in the fridge. Keep it stored in the fridge or it will continue to ferment and get overly fizzy and hard to pour. Burp daily and consume within 1-2 weeks for the best flavor and most benefit.
Re-Culturing From Your First Bottle
- You can use ½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle. Add 1¾ cups juice and 1¾ water to a 32 ounce bottle and ferment again. It should only take half to a full day to ferment. Check it often it ferments faster!
