Kefir in reCAP Mason jar

DIY Continuous Water Kefir

Water kefir is one of the easiest fermented drinks to keep going at home: mix, wait, strain, repeat. Here's the simplest version to get you started.

Ingredients: 

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • Quart (or so) filtered water
  • Water kefir grains

How to make it:

  1. Dissolve the brown sugar in water.
  2. Pour into your Mason jar.
  3. Add the water kefir grains and top off with water.
