Make Healthy Fruit Kefir (non-dairy) Soda & Elixirs - July 17

Friday, July 17 at 6:30-8:30pm   $20

Kefir is known worldwide for promoting longevity and good health. Learn to make healthful juice drinks that are filled with probiotics and tasty, too. EASY and inexpensive way to create juices that are good for your family. Save on the high costs of soda and fruit juices.

This beverage is fruit-infused, naturally carbonated, healthful and oh-so refreshing. Water kefir crystals are a culture from bacteria and yeast. The microbes feed off the sugars and create the most delicious and healthful drink we have ever had. Thirst quenching and delicious.

Water kefir is a unique way of drinking your probiotics. It is not kombucha (too tart for me), lends itself easily to being non-dairy and is simple to make. Just mix it up and let it mature for a day or so. Strain off the crystals and repeat, repeat, repeat. When your crystals multiply (which they will do), share them with friends.

Class includes LOTS of samples, history, creative demonstrations and kefir crystals so you can make them yourself. Forever.

Jacqueline teaches this one. She's made a few gallons of this wonderful soda every 48 hours for 3 years. If it wasn't totally simple she'd never have done that! If you want to carpool, let us know and we will connect you with others who are coming.

I make water kefir too and love it.  I happen to add an inch or two of dried seaweed (Kombu) to the kefir when I set it up to brew and the grains seem to thrive on it.  They like minerals.  I can't tell any difference in the taste and I'm hoping it's giving me minerals like iodine from the seaweed.
