Delicious Water Kefir - Wild Cultures

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Kefir Grains
• 1/2 cup sugar (I prefer to use an organic un-refined sugar plus a couple of spoons of molasses for increased mineral content)
• 1 Litre pure (non-chlorinated) water (including 1/2 cup boiling water to dissolve sugar)
• 1/2 lemon, sliced
• bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)- This (and the lemon) helps maintain a healthy pH. You do not need to use bicarb if you live somewhere with hard water.
• Optional – 25 grams non-sulphured organic dried fruit (I like raisins/sultanas, apricots, goji, figs & cranberries)
