Water kefir contains different strains of bacteria. The recipe is 1 tablespoon of kefir grains + 1 cup of water + 1 tablespoon of unrefined sugar or molasses. Do not use white sugar. The grains feed on the minerals in unrefined sugar or molasses.
Kefir grains that I strained out of yesterday's 1st fermentation. The first fermentation is purely unrefined sugar and water (24 hours of fermentation time). Do note use tap water. Use mineral water or filtered water that has had chemicals removed. By the end of this time, there is very little sugar left in the water. There will be plenty of probiotic bacteria and yeasts.
I wanted to make jackfruit kefir. I chopped up 2 bulbs of jackfruit and added it to yesterday's 1st fermentation to get another 24 hours of 2nd fermentation.
On the left is the 1st fermentation (with kefir grains). On the right is the 2nd fermentation (with jackfruit). By tomorrow, I will have a drink that tastes like jackfruit cider. I have tried apple, pear and pineapple. I love pineapple best. I shall soon be trying ginger for ginger beer.
Due to the temporary effects of the Healing Crisis, please start drinking kefir is small quantities (e.g., 2 tablespoons a day).

Hello! I wonder if you are still consuming water kefir because if you are, I’d kindly like to see how I can purchase some from you so I can kickstart a healthy lifestyle too! Let me know :)
So sorry... I am not into selling water kefir grains. There are FB groups where it will be easy to get free grains.
