How to Make the Sweetest Homemade Milk Kefir even Sweeter!

Drinking Kefir changed my life, & I am sure it will change yours.
Kefir is one of the highest probiotic foods you can ever find and homemade kefir outranks any store-bought variety. You can make your own kefir at home; making kefir is surprisingly simple!
It’s hard for many of us to get used to the sour taste of kefir, it’s especially harder for children. After 9 years of experience with making homemade kefir and kefir yogurt, I found this process that makes kefir as sweet as possible, so the taste is much sweeter and enjoyable for everyone. In this video, I am combining the process of making kefir and kefir yogurt to make the sweetest kefir even sweeter! As well, I’m going to answer the most common questions that you’ve asked in the comments about Kefir in the last 8 years.

As a 5 year milk kefir maker, I love this video and it should be a must-watch for beginners and I also learned a few tips (shake before strain and 2nd ferment) from you that I'll try. I like to "over-ferment" like you did with lots of whey on the bottom before I strain it. I see most videos are scared of that but I prefer it that way. Great job & what a helpful kefir ambassador you are.

[@realestatemaffit4321]

Where is the best place to buy grains? I am a newbie and hear grains are better than a starter kit. Any help is greatly appreciated 😁

[@AlexAnder-ut9es]

@@realestatemaffit4321 Either is fine; get online.

[@LifeXperienc]

Thank you very much! It is wonderful to hear that from an experienced kefir maker! When there is more whey, it means the fermentation was complete and there is a good number of probiotics. Since ancient times when yogurt was made, the whey was always mixed in because of the health benefits.

[@porkfied]

@@realestatemaffit4321 Yes the grains are healthier and has more probiotics than the dehydrated Keifer in the packet,Alex Ander does not know what he is saying.

[@markmayes6817]

@@realestatemaffit4321 I bought mine from Cultures for Health. You may want to also check with Fusion Teas. I bought the starter kit, which I now realize was not necessary.

[@justkidding9751]

Shame about the use of metal strainer and sauce pan kefir grains do not react well to being in contact with any metals. Hence if you buy commercially made kefir it will be in plastic containers. So this video that you worship is very miss guiding as to the well being of the live kefir grains. Just an observation not having a go at you personally but when you gave this video such an outstanding comment I thought you need to be made aware of the critical error made by a so called veteran of 9 years of making kefir by her using metal.

[@LifeXperienc]

@@justkidding9751 Stainless steel is alright for straining kefir. Steel is too dense to be corroded by kefir in the straining process. Plastic can be easily broken down into microplastics and enter your kefir. A stainless steel strainer can be passed down for generations and it will be fine but a plastic one won't last.

[@LifeXperienc]

I'm so glad this video helped you. Enjoy your delicious kefir! Originally, the Persian drink (doogh) was made with sour yogurt/kefir, salt and dried mint. Fizzy doogh is fizzy because the gas from kefir/sour yogurt is contained. It's probably the same drink, maybe with slight variation.

@@LifeXperienc Thank you so much for such an incredible in depth informative video. Yours has been one of my frequent stops to get more information as I evolve in my kefir journey. I also found that by adding organic whipping cream from 1:1 ratio with milk all the way down to even just 10% whip cream and 90% milk makes for an incredibly smooth buttery tasting kefir. But also in the process I use I don't let the whey buildup as much as yours. I will try incorporating your method to let more whey buildup. I love the tanginess but my friends don't, so an Italian friend gave me the whipping cream recipe which has created a kefir that is more like crème fraîche/ice cream with a wee bit of tang, and all I can say is that this kind of kefir is magic to the tastebuds, then to top it off I add a dash of cinnamon and pure maple syrup.

[@LifeXperienc]

Thank you so much! If you wash the glass container and strainer with a separate sponge/paper towel, the odds of contamination are extremely low. In general, kitchen sponges are very contaminated with bad bacteria. If your grains are contaminated, your kefir will smell like blue cheese. If you drink contaminated kefir once or twice, your stomach acid should be able to handle the bad bacteria.

I loved this video ❤ although I do have a couple of questions… 1. So I can make the sweetest kefir by mixing one part kefir with one part milk AFTER I’ve already strained the kefir? Do I also need to leave it 24 hours inside the fridge? 2. Could I make some sort of face mask for skincare using kefir? Much love to this channel 💖

Thank you so much! 1. Yes, but you can drink right away or keep in the fridge for as long as 3 weeks. 2. Yes, you can make a face mask using kefir, but test on a small area first.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

To get the added milk to ferment at all, leave it in the fridge 24 hrs or ur just drinking very diluted kefir-1/2 unfermented milk U can also second ferment kefir with a length of orange, lime or lemon peel. Or try a slice of orange, lemon or lime. Or 1 strawberry, 2 or 3 blueberries. Leave it on the counter another 18-24 hrs and u will be amazed at the difference. U will be tempted to add a lot of fruit. Do not. You only need that little bit to just flavor it. Otherwise the fruit sours it, believe it or not. The 2nd ferment also makes the kefir a little fizzy. I love it like this!

She said to add milk to it 50:50

The first step is to put it in the fridge to slow down the process. Then, after straining, add milk so that the bacteria in the kefir can work on the milk instead of the kefir itself.
