Probiotics

More than seventy percent of your immune system is tied to your digestive processes.

The condition of your health is dependent on the condition of the micro-flora in your gut. Unfortunately, the typical person's eating habits, and the consumption of chlorine in tap water, tends to kill off the beneficial bacteria, leaving you more prone to colds and the flu.

When your flora is flourishing, so are you. One of the most powerful ways of ensuring this happens is consuming Probiotics.

Is my Water Kefir working?

I've had quite a few people contact me asking if their Water Kefir crystals were okay. After 24 hours, their brew is still flat, the crystals aren't doing anything, and the fruit sunk to the bottom.

Best Jar for Water Kefir

Here is a picture of the best jar I've found for brewing Water Kefir. I found it at Walmart for about $5.

It's being brewed with ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup crystals, 3 liters water and 2 "quarters" of Ginger. It has been brewing for 24 hours and is ready to drink.

(I let it brew for another 24 hours though because I prefer my Water Kefir not quite so sweet.)

Storing (Water) Kefir

Sometimes you just want to take a break. Or maybe you have a surplus that you don't know what to do with. Either way, it's important to know the best way of storing your Water Kefir and your Water Kefir crystals.

Brewing (Water) Kefir

The flavor of Water Kefir can vary greatly by changing the ingredients. People develop their own favorite recipes, and any instructions you may find should only be seen as a guideline to get you started. Experiment and have fun.
