Water kefir grains (which really look like tiny crystals) can be used to ferment water-based liquids into a delicious, soda-like probiotic beverage. They are sometimes also called Sugar Kefir Grains (SKG) because, like most micro-organisms the beneficial bacteria and yeast feed on sugar. Water kefir grains can be used to create a delicious, slightly effervescent drink from fruit juice, coconut water, or simply water with sugar added which makes a great base to experiment with your own flavors. Water kefir grains are a perfect choice if you want to start making your own probiotic drinks, but want to avoid dairy products.
What You Get
You will get 4 tablespoon of water kefir grains (also called Tibicos or sugar kefir grains), which is enough to brew 1 litre of water kefir in 24-48 hours. Includes instruction guide for making your own water kefir.

Benefits of Water Kefir
Kefir has active cultures of both friendly yeast and friendly bacteria (including Lactobacilli strains) which are not only beneficial, but crucial to the healthy functioning of the digestive system (your inner ecosystem). They help your body to eliminate the unfriendly yeast and bacteria that’s in your colon, keeping your body’s ecosystem clean and functioning well as well as a number of other tasks essential to good digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
How To Make Water Kefir:
You just add the water kefir grains (which look like tiny crystals) to a sugar water solution in the ratio of 4 tbsp grains, 4 tbsp sugar, 4 cups water (other ingredients can be added to improve the fermentation process - please read brewing guide for more info). Leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours (depending on the temperature and how sweet you like it). You then strain out the grains, rinse, refrigerate the kefir or drink it immediately, and reuse the grains in the next batch.
Great on it’s own, mixed with fruit juice or kombucha, or with lemon/lime juice added. If you find kombucha too tart for your taste, try water kefir instead. It’s a great way to get essential live probiotic bacteria into kids. It’s also an easy and excellent way to replace an unhealthy soda habit with a healthy probiotic drink.
