You can prepare this drink in three different ways: by using kefir grains, an existing one as a starter, or a kefir starter culture.
However, the cheapest way is to prepare it using kefir grains, either water or milk kefir grains.
This is how to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons of water kefir grains
- 1 Ceylon cinnamon stick
- 7 cups fresh of coconut water
Instructions:
First, you should pour the coconut water into a 1/2 gallon jar and then add the water kefir grains.
Cover the jar loosely and let it sit for 48 hours. Do not forget that if you leave it longer, you can cause an explosion, because of the fermentation that will take place.
As soon as it is fermented, it will become lighter in color. At the end of the culturing process, the kefir grains will rise up to the top, and you need to remove them. You can use grains again in case you want to prepare another batch right away.
Enjoy your drink and enhance your overall health!
