Recipe
Instructions:
Heat 1 quart of young green coconut water to 92 degrees or skin temperature. (You can find coconut water in the Asian sections of your grocery store or health food stores.
Add entire foil package of Kefir culture packages ( purchase here. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/Milk-Kefir-Starter-Culture.html) and stir to dissolve thoroughly.
You can also use 1/4 cup of kefir whey, but you will have to use a new cup of kefir whey each time to make this. With the culture packages you can use the first batch 13 to 17 times to make new batches or until it quits culturing.
Add 1 tbsp of fresh grated ginger
Pour into a close able vessel.Such as a bottle with a clamp down lid. It will now take 4-5 days for the kefir to culture at room temperature. The coconut water will become cloudy as the culture grows and it will become "fizzy" and lose it's sweetness and become tart. When the coconut culture is done,add 4 or 5 frozen strawberries to about 8 ounces of the coconut kefir and whirl in a blender. Then sit down and enjoy this delicious probiotic drink. Or refrigerate for later.
If you used the Kefir culture packages save 6 tablespoons from each batch to inoculate the next quart of coconut water. It will culture faster each time. Many times it will only take a day to culture. You can do this up to 6 times on each package or until it stops culturing. Mine can go up to 13 times.
If you use 1/4 cup of kefir whey, you will start over each time with your kefir whey in new coconut juice.
