Remarks: If you have just received your milk kefir grains from us, we recommend starting off with 200ml fresh milk, instead of 500ml, for the first ferment. Subsequently, adjust the amount of fresh milk used according to your consumption needs.
STEP 1:
Transfer milk kefir grains into glass container.
STEP 2:
Pour 500ml of fresh milk into the container. The milk can be cold or room temperature, either is fine.
STEP 3:
Cover container with a cloth and secure with a rubber band. Let sit for 18 - 24 hours to culture / ferment in room temperature, away from sunlight.
STEP 4:
After 18 - 24 hours, culturing is complete. Signs of fermentation are thickening of the milk and the appearance of small bubbles around the edges. Harvest when it has the tangy flavor you enjoy.
** A little note from us to first timer: Okay, it's been 24 hours and the milk has not thickened, and you're probably thinking "Yikes, the grains do not work" We hear this so often. Think of the grains as jet lagged and requiring additional time to get back to optimal condition. May we beseech you to trust the process and allow upwards 48 hours for the initial batch. When in doubt, giver us a holler!
STEP 5:
Separate kefir grains from finished milk kefir. Place bowl under strainer to catch kefir grains in strainer and finished milk kefir in bowl.

STEP 6:
Repeat Step 1 - 5. Place kefir grains in fresh milk and allow to culture again. You can make a fresh batch of milk kefir roughly every 24 hours.
STEP 7:
Drink, store finished milk kefir in fridge up to two weeks or do a second fermentation.
