The second fermentation is a treat for the Kefir grains and keeps them healthy. You need to do this once in a while.
1. Add sugar to a quart jar that is half full of very warm water.
2. Shake until all sugar is dissolved.
3. Finish filling the jar w cold water leaving an inch at the top.
4. Now add the Kefir grains, cover with a coffee filter, and let ferment for NO MORE THAN 48 HOURS.
5. Strain the water kefir grains pouring the liquid into another container. You can drink now or . . .
TO MAKE THE WATER KEFIR CARBONATED DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Restart the process by repeating steps 1-3 and then adding the Kefir grains, handful of organic raisins, baking soda, and the lemon (to help keep bacteria from growing.)
2. Cover with an airtight lid and let sit on counter for another 1-3 days.
3. Scoop the raisins off the top and then pour the mixture thru a plastic sieve to strain out the Kefir grains.
4. You can drink right away, but most people put Kefir water in fridge for 1-2 days for a refreshing, fuzzy drink. ENJOY!!
