We appreciate the shout out :) Quick note - That white fuzz actually isn't mold, its called "flowers of kefir" You can google that if you want to learn about it more. Generally harmless but it doesn't taste the best. Your kefir looks amazing by the way. Keep up the good work!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Thank you Fusion Teas!!! That's great to know!♡♡

[@nalini3229]

​@@SageandStoneHomestead I'm thankful for fusion teas too. Just got my grains from them two weeks ago and I'm already enjoying fresh kefir for the first time, after consuming store bought for about two years. Fusion teas I hail you from the Caribbean ❤

[@belieftransformation]

Thanks for the historical story!

[@dirtroaddestiny]

Kefir and other things with good probiotics cured my adult acne. So of course I had to watch this Thanks 😊❤

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Wow that's so amazing!!! They say eruptions on the skin can be an outward sign of an inner issue. Seems like you were able to cure the issue with Kefir! How awesome!!

[@jeronimama]

Oh that is wonderful. I need to explore that!

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

My adult grandson has flares all the time, this is a great tip, i just bought a water Kreifer kit, so I will try this first 😊, thank you

[@stonesoupsubstitutions6946]

I never would have thought to just flavor it before drinking it like that. Lol!

FUNNY. I never thought to do a 2F until I saw you do it 🤣🤣🤣

[@dalegaa4094]

Last year I learned how to make yogurt and kefir seems to be a logical next step. This is the first video I've seen on how to do it.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Yes it's a very close cousin to yogurt!

[@carlenevasseur]

I love milk Kefir. I have been making & drinking it for almost a year now. It's a drinkable yogurt. I just use regular whole milk. I have several grains frozen for future use or to share.
