All About Water Kefir Part 1

We love drinking water kefir and enjoy the health benefits from it. Water Kefir is a fermented, probiotic drink and easy to make. It is an excellent replacement for sodas and has a very low sugar content. The kefir grains eat up most all the sugar, and it's not fermented long enough to develop much of an alcohol content. Studies show it's good for diabetics because it helps to balance blood sugar levels. It helps with digestion issues and reduces inflammation which is the root cause of most diseases. It is said to reduce cholesterol levels, good for the brain, aids in healing of the skin and other good benefits. The best information on the many health benefits I found was at ScienceDirect.com

IMPORTANT NOTE: While it is deemed safe for most everyone to drink this rich probiotic kefir, for those who have an autoimmune disease, check with your doctor first. In some cases, instead of it strengthening your immune system, it could have the reverse effect.

Thanks for your good video, greetings from a newbie kefir maker from Uk …

Where did you get your first grains? I bought mine from Cultures for Health. They ferment well, but are tiny and haven't grown or multiplied. I've had them about 6 weeks.

I saw someone use a metal strainer but she cover it with a cloth. I’m new to this as well. Working on my first batch

Wishing you much success making your water kefir.

I’ve found when you use fruit juice it fizzes more. I like lemon balm and blueberries. You need to smash your blueberries some. We also like tart cherry juice concentrate. If you want high fizz, use a bottle with a long neck and a stopper. Have fun.

Thanks for the tips! I have found fruit juices fizz more, too. I haven't thought about using lemon balm and I'll definitely try adding it with the crushed blueberries.
