How to make milk kefir at home

Milk Kefir is a fermented milk drink made using milk and milk Kefir grains (different to water Kefir grains). It is a very nutritious drink as it is very high in probiotics. Kefir contains high levels of vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, vitamin K2, biotin, folate, enzymes, and probiotics. The recipe is very simple, check out the list of ingredients below:

Ingredients:
2 tbsp milk Kefir grains*
500ml whole organic milk

*Milk Kefir grains can be purchased online or dried in some health food shops. However, the community of home fermenters is usually happy to pass on their excess grains. As you continue to ferment your grains will multiple and once you reach a volume of Kefir milk suitable for your family then you will have excess to pass on.

I initially bought mine from www.happykombucha.co.uk as they sold Kombucha scobies as well. You can also source your grains from www.kefir.ie
