Strawberry Lemonade Kefir
An easy, fermented digestive drink that is refreshing and supports your digestion.
Ingredients
- 2 litres room temperature filtered water
- 1/2 cup Turbinado sugar
- 4-5 tbsp water kefir grains
- 1-2 small lemons, sliced
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/4 cup mashed strawberries
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional for a chia lemonade)
Instructions
- MIx water and sugar in a large glass container with a lid until well dissolved. Add the water kefir grains.
- Add all the fruit, mix, put the lid on and store in dark and warm place for 24-36 hours. You will look for bubbles and carbonation forming.
- Strain everything over a large bowl. Pour the strained lemonade into a container that seals. You can enjoy it plain or add chia seeds if you like to have a Strawberry Chia Lemonade Kefir.
- Discard fruit and reuse the water kefir grains again to make another batch using the same instructions.
Notes
Ideally, use a non-metal strainer and wooden spoons because the kefir grains do not like metal. I meant to lay a piece of cheesecloth inside my metal strainer for the video but forgot! So ideally no metal :)
