Description: Milk Kefir: Fact & Instruction Sheet for 2 tsp Kefir GrainsWhat is Milk Kefir? Milk kefir is a fermented dairy product made by culturing milk with kefir grains—small clusters of live bacteria and yeast. It produces a tangy, probiotic-rich drink that’s easy to make at home and beneficial for digestion and overall health.Key FactsProbiotic-Rich: Milk kefir supports gut health with its mix of beneficial bacteria and yeast.High in Nutrients: Contains calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and B vitamins.Lactose-Friendly: Fermentation breaks down most of the lactose, making it suitable for many lactose-intolerant individuals.Customizable Flavor: The longer it ferments, the tangier and thicker it gets.Economical: Once you have kefir grains, they can be reused indefinitely with proper care.How to Make Milk Kefir (with 2 tsp of Grains)Ingredients2 tsp of active milk kefir grains1–2 cups of milk (whole milk works best; avoid ultra-pasteurized milk)EquipmentGlass jar (16 oz or larger)Plastic or wooden spoon (avoid metal contact with the grains)Coffee filter or breathable clothRubber band or vented jar lidNon-metal strainerInstructionsPrepare the Jar: Add 2 teaspoons of kefir grains to a clean glass jar.Add Milk: Pour 1–2 cups of milk into the jar. Leave some space at the top for airflow.Cover: Cover the jar with a coffee filter or breathable cloth secured with a rubber band to allow airflow while protecting it from contaminants.Ferment: Leave the jar at room temperature (65–75°F) for 12–48 hours. Stir gently after 12 hours to distribute fermentation evenly.Taste Test: Begin tasting at 12 hours. For a mild flavor, ferment for a shorter time; for a tangier drink, ferment longer.Strain the Kefir: Use a non-metal strainer to separate the grains from the liquid.Store and Repeat: Transfer the finished kefir to a container and refrigerate. Place the grains into fresh milk to start a new batch.Tips for 2 tsp of Kefir GrainsMilk Ratio: Use about 1 cup of milk per 1 teaspoon of grains for optimal fermentation. Adjust based on taste preferences.Fermentation Time: If using 2 cups of milk, ferment closer to 48 hours for a thicker, tangier kefir.Avoid Metal: Contact with metal can harm the grains. Use plastic or wooden tools instead.TroubleshootingWeak Fermentation? If the milk doesn’t thicken or taste tangy after 48 hours, the grains may need more time or fresher milk.Too Sour or Thick? Reduce fermentation time or use less milk per batch.Grain Health: Rinse grains gently with filtered water every few weeks if they become slimy or smell unusual.Storage TipsKefir grains can be stored in milk in the refrigerator for up to a week when not in use.For longer storage, rinse grains and freeze them in an airtight container.Enjoy making and experimenting with your 2 tsp kefir grain batches!
