And when you make it yourself, you know it's free from sweeteners, chemicals, additives or preservatives; unlike 'shop-bought' kefir you have complete control over its contents, it will continue to ferment inside the jar and produce increasing numbers of live cultures over time, and you can tailor it to your own taste. You can make as much or as little as you need and it’s great either consumed fresh or used as an ingredient in smoothies, shakes, ice cream, salads, cakes, cookies, pies, puddings and even bread… Your favourite meal can easily be more nutritious with kefir!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith only a small amount of preparation, you can enjoy fresh milk or water kefir every day thanks to this simple kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor milk kefir: simply measure the kefir grains in the measuring cup in the lid, put them in the glass jar and top up with milk. Then put the strainer lid on the jar and add the secure lid – making sure it’s a little loose to allow the air to circulate – and leave to ferment for 24 hours. It can then go in the fridge to stop the fermentation and chill before drinking. Once it’s ready, tighten the lid securely and shake, then pour through the strainer to remove the kefir and serve. If you’re making water kefir, the process is the same but you use water and sugar instead of milk and it can take longer to ferment, usually between 24 and 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd it doesn’t stop there, as the same grains can be used again in the next batch – once you’ve strained your kefir, just measure the grains again and add more liquid to begin your next delicious batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis multi-faceted jar can be used for more than just kefir – it’s also suitable for sprouting seeds and pulses, and even for making your own kombucha (fermented tea) drink.

With the help of crowd-funding and support from fellow fans of fermentation, they created an all-in-one product to make it easy for everyone to make their own delicious kefir at home and to incorporate fermented foods into their everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Kefir grains not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBPA-free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kefirko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61472243548490,"sku":"26163","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/8108\/4234\/files\/26163_1.jpg?v=1774894160","url":"https:\/\/www.lakeland.co.uk\/products\/kefirko-large-kefir-milk-and-water-maker-1-4l","provider":"Lakeland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
