Mini Water Kefir FAQ

What is Water Kefir?

Water kefir is a naturally carbonated probiotic beverage, just like Kombucha, but it has a milder flavor than Kombucha and is made with water kefir grains instead of a Kombucha mother. Water kefir grains are not actually grains, but they are referred to this way because of their appearance. Water kefir grains are a composite of bacteria and yeasts that exist symbiotically, so they can also be referred to as a SCOBY. Don’t confuse them with a Kombucha SCOBY, though–they are very different.

Unlike Kombucha, water kefir doesn’t require tea. The only ingredients for water kefir are the water kefir grains and the sugar water solution.

Why Make Water Kefir?

Water kefir comes with several benefits:

• Easier and faster – Water kefir requires only the water kefir grains, sugar water solution, and 1-2 days of ferment time. Kombucha also requires tea and 1-2 weeks of ferment time.

• Better to make smaller batches – With Kombucha, the smallest recipe starts at 1 gallon. Because water kefir ferments much more quickly, it’s easier to make smaller batches.

• Healthy organisms – Water kefir contains more than 400 types of bacteria and yeast that promote gut health and immunity.

• Milder flavor – Water kefir is much milder than Kombucha. It actually has a bland, plain soda flavor that is easily jazzed up with flavorings. For those that don’t enjoy the tart and tangy flavor of Kombucha but still want a natural, healthy probiotic beverage, water kefir works great.

• Safe for the family – Water kefir is good for the whole family with no caffeine or dairy.

Important Notes About Water Kefir Grains

Keep these helpful tips in mind so that you can continue making delicious fizzy water kefir “soda” for yourself or the whole family.

• No need to rinse the recaptured grains – they’re ready to go again just as they are.

• Kefir water grains reproduce, but won’t always reproduce more grains in every batch. That’s okay though, because the grains are able to be reused again and again.

• Water kefir grains will ferment the sugar water mixture best anywhere between 68-78°F (20-26°C). Cooler temperatures will result in a slower fermentation time, and warmer temperatures speed the process up. Just keep an eye out.

What Are the Benefits of Water Kefir?

Water kefir, like all fermented drinks and food items, has plenty of health benefits. It is a probiotic drink filled with healthy bacteria, yeasts, enzymes, acids, vitamins, and minerals. These gut-health-promoting elements improve immunity and overall wellness. Water kefir does contain sugar, but it is easily digested sugar that doesn’t interact with the body like regular t…
