water kefir

We all love delicious, refreshing lemonade on hot days! If you want something healthy too, water kefir is just the thing. Homemade in your favorite glass, you can easily ferment water kefir yourself in 2-3 days using kefir crystals. Sparkling, slightly sweet and with a pleasant acidity, homemade water kefir is a healthy alternative to conventional lemonade, which usually consists exclusively of sugar.

Homemade fermented lemonade

As a base, water, sugar, dates and lemons are mixed with the water kefir crystals in the Ball Mason Jar | Wide | 1.9 liters . During fermentation, the sugar is almost completely broken down and carbon dioxide, lactic acid and healthy metabolic products are produced. After 2-3 days, the mixture turns into a healthy and delicious lemonade. After 1-3 days, sugar, water, dates, lemons and water kefir crystals will create a healthy and delicious lemonade in your FAVORITE JAR.

Fermenting reliably and deliciously

When is water kefir ready? Depending on the room temperature, your water kefir can be ready after just 1 day. In the summer months, fermentation is very quick. It is therefore best to try your water kefir every day with a clean spoon. You can drink it after 3 days at the latest. What do I do with the crystals? You can buy water kefir crystals in the pharmacy, health food store or online. Rinse the crystals before and after fermentation and store them tightly closed in the refrigerator. The crystals multiply during fermentation. For each new fermentation, only use as many crystals as are specified in the recipe. How long does water kefir last? You can store your finished lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, tightly sealed. After that, it may be too sour to drink. Which dried fruits can I use for fermentation? We prefer to use dates. But you can also use dried figs, apricots or raisins. It's best to experiment and see what you like best. Homemade and healthy lemonade in your FAVORITE GLASS - if tightly sealed, it will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
