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 75Ā°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 Ā½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle. Add 1Ā¾ cupsĀ juiceĀ and 1Ā¾ 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!
