Instructions
- Add four cups of coconut water to a quart jar.
- Add package of Kefir starter (or whey) and stir to dissolve thoroughly.
- You can also use ½ cup of kefir whey, but you will have to use a new ½ cup of kefir whey each time to make this. With the culture packages you can use the first batch and subsequent batches to make new batches of kefir soda. You can keep doing it until it quits culturing. I've done it over 30 times.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger
- Pour into a closeable vessel such as a bottle with a clamp down lid. It will now take 4-5 days for the kefir to culture at room temperature. The coconut water will become cloudy as the culture grows and it will become "fizzy". It will also lose its sweetness and become tart.
- When the coconut kefir is complete, add 4 or 5 frozen strawberries to about 8 ounces of the coconut kefir and whirl in a blender. Then sit down and enjoy this delicious probiotic drink. Or refrigerate for later.
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 the other ingredients and ferment again. It should only take a half to a full day to ferment. It ferments faster on subsequent batches and you can make many bottles over and over again!
