Homemade Kefir- Cheaper than Storebought, Just as good
1/10/2012 6:36:07 PM

  • Organic Whole Milk (from cows not injected with synthetic hormones)
  • Kefir culture aka  Kefir starter or Kefir grains
  • Clean glass jar with lid
  1. Warm milk in a saucepan until it comes to a boil
  2. Constantly stir milk so it doesn't stick to pan and burn
  3. Turn off heat and let milk cool until warm ( the milk is boiled to kill any bacteria that might compete against the good keifer bacteria and inhibit it's growth)
  4. Stir 3 tablespoons or more of Kefir culture into warm milk
  5. Pour mixture in a glass jar with lid and let sit for 18-24 hours
  6. Shake vigourously and store in refrigerator
