A living culture dating back thousands of years which is used to culture dairy (or soy) products creating a yoghurt like substance.  This process has been shown to produce a product high in beneficial bacteria, lactic acid, enzymes & B Vitamins.  Once the milk has been cultured, the kefir grains are removed & the process repeated; kefir grains will slowly multiply & will last for many years if cared for. 

How do I make Kefir?  Simply add kefir granules (pictured) to 1-2 cups warm milk.  Place in a warm, dark place & leave for 24 hours.  Strain milk.  Keep kefir grains to reuse again & again.

IMPORTANT:  The kefir grains are living.  Upon arrival, you will need to immediately either add milk & leave to culture, or place into freezer for use at a later stage.  For the beginner, it is recommended that the kefir grains be used in conjunction with the book 'Kefir: for Pleasure, Beauty & Well Being' by Harold Tietze (not included)

A living culture dating back thousands of years which is used to culture water / herbal teas creating a slightly fizzy 'softdrink-like' beverage.  This process has been shown to produce a product high in beneficial bacteria.  Once the water / herbal tea has been cultured, the water kefir grains are removed & the process repeated; water kefir grains will slowly multiply & will last for many years if cared for. 

How do I make Water Kefir?  Simply add water kefir granules to 1 cup herbal tea, then add 2 tablespoons sugar (or rapadura).  Place in a warm, dark place & leave for 24 hours.  Strain liquid.  Keep kefir grains to reuse again & again.

IMPORTANT:  The water kefir grains are living.  Upon arrival, you will need to immediately either add water & sugar & leave to culture, or place into freezer for use at a later stage.
