Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you. ❤Jesus loves you guys. He can come back any second. Dont wait, please. Turn away from your sins and come to him❤ He will welcome you with arms wide open. Have a great day! ❤ ❤* John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".

Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to get started!

You can also eat the grains. Add to yogurt or smoothies. Great for the gut biome. For the second fermentation you can add DIY fruit syrups. Pineapple and lemon with a touch of cinnamon’s combo is super yummy. You can make syrups out of any other fruits that you like and add it to your water kefir for the second fermentation. Happy drinking 😁

I'm scared to eat the grains what if they stay in the tummy and multiply in there until you'll bloat?

Some great ideas in this video, thank you!

This was a very well done video. I appreciated the measurements and ingredients and all. You did a good job.

This is the best video I've ever seen on flavoring water Kefir!😀👏

Amazing, clear video. Thank you a lot

Awesome as is blog post. Going to try!

Thank you so much - your instructions are so clear and comprehensive. This really is the best video I’ve found and you have cleared up my confusion.

Thank you so much for this very clear, informative video. I'm looking to get into making kefir and your video is a perfect way to learn about the process.

What I Really like about your vlogs/video's etc... is that you put in Canadian information and supply content. I live in Canada, not the US. and I would like to support companies that are Canadian.Thank you for all your wonderful work.

Thank you for this video. Everything we need to know. 😊

I didn't even knew the existence of water kefir, so thanks for this! My dad and granddad both made normal kefir though, and I know kombucha, but this looks like it's more my thing after googling about it. Definately going on a search for a water kefir culture. Hope my house is warm enough 24/7 in winter to make it.

I really want to make this, watching your video actually made me crave this refreshing drink.

Dear Teenuja and Kevin: I have just read your extremely thorough blog post on this and wish to thank you for sharing so much expertise -- you have covered every eventuality brilliantly. Your spirit of sharing is extraordinary and beautiful.

Wow, that looks wonderful, cant wait to try this...i think ginger would be my favorite

Sumptuous work!

I just rehydrated some water kefeir and this video has given me a lot of guidence on how to proceed with making these lovely fermented drinks

wow this video is well done thanks very professional the way how you filmed, very informatived

Wonderful video Teenuja. I used to make Water Kefir a lot a few years ago but it was exhausting after a while to keep making it since my kefir grains kept multiplying like crazy, I think at one stage I had 5 bags of kefir grains in the freezer lol. I did love the taste so I would love to try making it again. It was a lot easier to make than Kombucha for me. Thank you for the fruit flavor combinations.

I am making it w freshly collected violet flowers. Lovely!

Great video, thank you!!

great video. you make it look so easy!

Great video to explain everything in a simple and straight forward way on how to make and flavor water kefir. Very pleasant voice and music! Thanks for making this video.

Great video, thank you! I've been drinking water kefir for a couple of months now and love it! My favorite flavor combinations are apple juice+ginger, blueberry+rosemary, ginger+lemon, orange+cinnamon+ginger (for cold days) and also raspberry+basil :). Sometimes I use hibiscus tea for the first fermentation process, but it'll stain the kefir grains a little.

Hey friends, it's been a while and we're pretty excited to share a video. We hope you'll enjoy this one and will try making water kefir at home. Please do check out the blog post here - veganlovlie.com/water-kefir-soda as we've included some additional info like troubleshooting (kefir grains not growing or going mushy), what to do with extra grains etc... We drink water kefir on a daily basis and it's much much healthier than store-bought sodas, incomparable even! If you've ever made kombucha at home, then you'll find water kefir so much simpler to make. Once you get the hang of it, the simple process becomes a breeze and soon you'll have an endless supply of healthy tasty probiotic drink to enjoy everyday while maintaining a healthy gut.

Thank you 🙏

HA! I’m on keto and I really miss high-carb fruits. I’ll be using them with my water kefir now. 😍 Also, I eat the piths of cherries, apples, apricots and peaches because they’re very healthy and I need them, and then I always end up eating the whole fruit, kicking me out of ketosis, now I can use the fruit in my water kefir guilt-free. 😍

I am on my 5th batch of water Kefir, it is now my favorite drink. The last one tasted like slow gin fizz even though no alcohol, and I used black cherry juice, ginger, a piece of lemon and a pinch of baking soda in the 2nd ferment, and used later stevia to sweeten. This current one I made is grapefruit-ginger-lime-cranberry soda water Kefir. The first ferment--I always use also a lot of organic garlic, organic onion, and organic ginger along with organic cane sugar, and organic coconut sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of non-aluminum baking soda or pink salt, and I wait until it smells like vinegar, the smell of garlic and onion is not there anymore after 48 hours. I can just tell by the vinegar smell that the first ferment is done. I started with two tablespoons of organic water Kefir grains, and now I have a quart of water Kefir grains, they grew a lot.

awesome video, the best one ever , question to ask: 1) when I am making water kefir, it taste kinda of beer flavor instead of carbonated soda flavor? I dont know what I did wrong, every time I make water kefir leaving for 24 hours after my first fermentation, it tastes slightly kinda beer flavor even after flavoring during my second fermentation for 12-24 hours, it still tastes kinda beer. thanks

LOVE THIS! Thank you so much! Can you start the process with all coconut sugar or sub the white sugar with maple syrup??? I try to avoid white sugar.

It also great for your animals.

Great simple my question is such fermented water contains any alcohol

Today I've used pomegranate molasses, dates dried/frozen cranberries I rehydrated the dates and cranberries with a few teaspoons of hot water then mashed in the frozen ones and added the Pomegranate Molasses then the kefier no strain, no sugar thought there was enough with that mix I'm hoping it's nice its my 1st time making it. I brewed it 1st with lemon ginger and normal molasses and raw/blonde sugar pinch of bicarb and mineral water... 🙏🤞🥂

Any sugar works, no need for expensive hard to find stuff. You can even use fruit juices and the sugar in them is enough.

Funky Bee The grains apparently prefer simple sugar water and are less happy with some of the flavorings in their fermentation water. For example if you added juice to the first batch it may make the environment too acidic to keep happy grains although I’ve heard a bit of lemon juice on occasion is good for them.

I used to make this drink before but because now I’m on vegetarian keto diet I stop it thinking that it contains sugar and carbs I like it so much but no more make it. Do you an idea how sugar it contains or it’ll break the diet

Should I use 1tbs Jaggery in place of Rapadura sugar? The temp is around 22C now so what should be the fermation time? And I heard using dry fruits in the first ferment, is it necessary if using Jaggery? Thanks in advance.

I make regular kefir. Are the water kefir grains also a living bacteria? Sometimes I flavour mine with turmeric powder, honey, and cinnamon. It might be nice in this too. Especially for Christmas.

@Veganlovlie

Yes, the water kefir grains are symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (aka SCOBY). As far as I know honey will kill the beneficial bacteria in the water kefir due to its anti-bacteria properties. I kind of think turmeric will do the same too as it is also anti-bacterial. As a separate drink, turmeric is great though. 🙂
