7 EASY STEPS TO PREPARE MILK KEFIR

The following are the 7 easy steps to prepare milk kefir

MATERIALS

1. Kefir grains, 

2. Milk, 

3. Jar,

4.  Breathable material like paper towels, dish towel,

5. Rubberband

PREPARATION

1. Place kefir grains in a jar.

2. Pour in milk on top of the grains. 

3. For the first batch, add around 1 cup of milk per 1 tablespoon of grains.

4. Put a breathable cloth on top and secure with a rubber band. 

5. Put the jar in a cool, dark place like a cabinet.

6.  Let the kefir ferment for 24-48 hours. When you tilt the jar slightly and the kefir is thicker and more gel-like instead of just watery milk, then is ready.

7. Strain the kefir in a plastic strainer. (Never use metal strainer or spoons. The kefir liquid itself can touch metal but the grains cannot as this can "kill" them.)
