Admittedly, some people really don’t like the taste of milk kefir. Happily, I love it! Lately, I’ve been making it a little differently. In the brewing jar, I leave the kefir grains and milk together until the milk is Very Thick. Then I strain it out and keep the kefir in the refrigerator. It is as thick as yogurt after it gets cold. Here is how I have been enjoying my daily kefir lately…Blackstrap molasses is strong flavored, but I find this combination very nice. The sourness of the kefir nicely balances with the molasses. In addition, blackstrap molasses is amazingly good for you!
Pour a kefir into a small glass or bowl.
pour in just a small amount of organic blackstrap molasses.
Stir it up a little and eat it with a spoon.
