- Purchase our live potent kefir grains at www.tayyibafar... or find them in select stores.
Instructions:
Use non-metalic tools and jars/containers that are cleaned with light detergent
Use one or more tablespoon kefir grains per liter of milk. If using less, use less milk.
If using raw milk, use four times the amount of grains, due to raw milk spoiling and souring before the grains can get to work.
Leave at room temperature for 8 -15 hours or at desired consistency and taste, strain grains and repeat process.
Never heat the kefir grains or use warm milk
To store grains for later usage, place in the refrigerator in
fresh milk, changing the milk around every 10 days.
Take note of seasonal fermenting - summer yields quickferments (5 to 9h) while winter is longer (10-18h).
Second Fermentation:
Add your choice of flavoring, from fruit juice, extract, spice, piece of fruit, honey, etc and leave to ferment from 12 to 24 additional hours depending on your desired second fermented consistency. This fermentation will take place without grains and from the strained kefir drink only. Adding fruits or honey that have high sweetness ratio to the kefir can render a failed product. Make sure ratio is around 1 tablespoon honey to 1L.
Note, Using raw honey can inject competitive bacteria to the active kefir culture.
قم بشراء حبوب الكفير الخاصة بنا على www.tayyibafar... أو ابحث عنها في متاجر محددة.
استخدم الأدوات غير المعدنية والبرطمانات / الحاويات التي يتم تنظيفها بمنظف خفيف
استخدم ملعقة كبيرة أو أكثر من حبوب الكفير لكل لتر من الحليب. في حالة استخدام كمية أقل ، استخدم كمية أقل من الحليب.
في حالة استخدام الحليب الخام ، استخدم أربعة أضعاف كمية الحبوب ، لأن الحليب الخام يفسد ويتحلل قبل أن تبدأ الحبوب في العمل.
اتركيه في درجة حرارة الغرفة لمدة 8-15 ساعة أو في القوام والمذاق المطلوبين ، صفي الحبوب وكرر العملية.
لا تسخن حبوب الكفير أو تستخدم الحليب الدافئ
لتخزين الحبوب لاستخدامها لاحقًا ، ضعها في الثلاجة
حليب طازج ، يتغير الحليب كل 10 أيام.
ضع في اعتبارك التخمير الموسمي - ينتج الصيف تخميرًا سريعًا (من 5 إلى 9 ساعات) بينما الشتاء أطول (10-18 ساعة).
التخمير الثاني:
أضف النكهة التي تختارها ، من عصير الفاكهة ، والمستخلص ، والتوابل ، وقطعة الفاكهة ، والعسل ، وما إلى ذلك ، واتركها لتتخمر من 12 إلى 24 ساعة إضافية حسب تناسق التخمير الثاني المطلوب. يتم هذا التخمير بدون حبوب ومن مشروب الكفير المصفى فقط. يمكن أن تؤدي إضافة الفواكه أو العسل التي تحتوي على نسبة حلاوة عالية إلى الكفير إلى فشل المنتج. تأكد من أن النسبة حوالي 1 ملعقة كبيرة عسل إلى 1 لتر.
لاحظ أن استخدام العسل الخام يمكن أن يحقن بكتيريا قادرة على المنافسة في ثقافة الكفير النشطة.
![Does cold hurt my Kefir? + Problems fermenting on the counter [answering Subscriber questions]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/67gvXH_FthU/mqdefault.jpg)
I use metal strainer and no issues. My Kefir also is thicker, especially after 2nd fermentation. I prefer to add a peice of fresh fruit during second fermentation so the grains have some food. I suppose the honey is the same, but fruit has worked best for me. Fresh not frozen. Kefir is amazing.
Been making it for over ten years. I have always used a metal strainer with no problem. I also do the huge no no...I occasionally rinse with tepid tap water because it will tend to develop long threads after many, many fermentations. I don't like the threads in my cheesecakes or lasagna. So, I quickly rinse with...yes...chlorinated water. My grains are now eight years old and going strong. I make cream cheese, feta cheese, farmer's cheese and of course drinks. Seriously never a problem. But don't rinse them daily...you will kill them. Probably every month and a half for me.
@@simon-515 I’m confused. The strings go away from rinsing? Are the strings bad for the health properties of the kefir?
Sorry noob here. I actually JUST put my grains into milk for the first time today!
You add fruit during fermentation?
Hi
The second fermentation doesn’t have the grains!
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world government from Jerusalem.
If it's stainless steel it's fine.
I don’t strain my key for I just thought I’d pass it along what I do is I take the kefir out of the jar with a spoon and add the Kiefer to clean jar and fill it with milk and the Kiefer I just made I’ll put in the fridge raider or I sweeten it like you did. I find it saves time I don’t have to dirty any other utensils, except a spoon. I don’t mind if I miss a few kefir grains, and they remain in my kefir because it grows like crazy anyway. I didn’t know about the second fermentation, so that’s a great idea. Thanks.❤
I wait for mine to slightly seperate from the whey then strain, pop the grains back in unwashed jar and refill with whole milk. Sometimes its very hot here and it separates alot too quickly, still good kefir just bit more bitsy, nothing a blender cant fix. I keep my kefir in fridge on 1st ferment in a plastic bottle. Drink it as is or put in blender with banana,vanilla and sweetener for smoothie which is absolutely delicious!!!
Gr8 tutorial girl, very easy presentation well done! I can see you like tidiness thats why you give your jar a quick rinse, I like!
PS and your recipe is one I use lots for cinnamon and honey together is an antibiotic bomb and fantastic for arthritis!
My family lives in Alexandria. I’ve passed the website on to my sister. She will be very excited to order from you
I had to dump my milk kefir because I followed your instructions! DId some reaserch and found out Never put honey until just before drinking your milk kefir!!! Thanks! milk is already so expensive, what a waste! use a fruit or fruit puree, but no honey as second ferment, but just as sweetener if you chose to sweeten it. Love your honey jar though.
This is the best video on kefir thank you!
This tutorial is sooooo underrated. I only ever subscribe to channels I truly enjoyed and even then i sometimes change my mind. You just earned a new sub. I've been trying to find a good video on kefir and if fermenting raw honey and organic banana would be good idea and you nailed it! Thank you ;]
just a question. Since honey and cinammon are both antibacterial wouldn't it kill all the good bacteria too? If you have any info that would be great as I would love to put honey in my kefir
Good question …
Yes it will but not all.
Yes, it's not good for the kefir bacterial growth, honey is antibacterial
I don't know about the cinnamon, but I looked into this with honey. As soon as it's diluted it loses its antibacterial ability. This is how honey can be fermented to make mead or for instance in a baked good like sourdough bread.
I heard after 1st fermenting you can add honey and drink but not to leave it to ferment again beacause then the honey over powers the kefir??
A consideration - if you are on a municipal water supply, it may be chlorinated highly enough to negatively affect the grains. They’re tough little bugs, by why stress them unnecessarily.
I came into the comments just to say Nooooo, don't put them in the tap water. It's better to put them back into the same un-rinsed kefir jar, but if you want to clean it, make sure it's dried. (If using chlorinated tap water)
Love your video very easy!!
I was under the impression that you have to put the grains every time you ferment but on the second day you didn’t!!…..
That was really strange for me.
Thanks for posting your awesome videos.
the second day is a second fermentation and grains are not required for that. and by now the grains she removed are already fermenting her next batch of kefir. hope that helps.
@@karronlaneNOLA thank you for your explanation.
Maybe you can help me.
I got a box that says kefir started. I assumed these are the grains. I put two envelopes in half a gallon of milk.
Now after the 24 hours I was going to strain and put it again to ferment as the video but when I strained there were no grains?
Do you know about this? Thank you.
I was told that because honey is a natural antibiotic can not be put in kefir because kill the good bacteria en the kefir.
The grains are different of kefir starter. You can have the grains for free only pay for shipping.
I like your honey jar too😍
Bet you’ve heard of Mr know all before. I’m certainly not, I, currently making my first batch. But I have read you must not rinse the jar you intend to use again to encourage growing on the second batch, not the second fermentation? Thanks for the post.
thaks you are great but for second fermont i keep it two hours outside with fruit or flavour and then put it in fridge and is it ok to put honey because they said dont put honey with kefir im confused
So, im curious about adding honey. Isnt honey naturally antibacterial and wouldn't that not be good adding it to kefir that you want the good bacteria?
How long is the kefir good in the fridge after the 2nd ferment?
Are there additional benefits to doing a second ferment? Or is it purely for flavor?
Purely for flavour. And the bacteria set up a bit more, but not much. I strongly recommend the second ferment. It just developes a nice flavour all together.
@@fjallabrjoturno, it triples amount of some minerals and nutrients. It’s not just for flavor!
Wonderful!
Can you second ferment Kiefer that you’ve bought from Publix?
Hello , can i use any type of milk fresh or pasteurized milk ?! Which is preferable to use ? Do Grain multiply everytime we use ?! Kindly Advice
Thanks for the video! Just as an FYI...the word "kefir" is from the middle east. It is not pronounced like KEY-fur. It is pronounced like kuh-FEAR.
Can i get the Kefir locally since Tayyiba Farms is out of the country?
I read that you should not drink milk kefir with honey, turmeric or hot food
Thankyou ❤
I found if you put nutmeg in anything ( milk) you get eggnog.
Thanks
I am eager to deal with your farm in Egypt, I have very annoying anaphylaxis so my question is simply the grains on your website mixed before cow or buffalo milk ?? I can have trauma if any product have dairy so I am searching to get pure starter grains and use it with goat or camel's milk even nuts still I am allergic to 😢 .
I will that you get me an answer soon
I posted a comment. Didn't get an answer. I am in the US, is there a store anywhere that I can purchase some items without ordering online? I am not sure how that works with shipping from Egypt. Thank you
Could you tell me how to make Kefir grains. Thanks
You dont make them you have to buy them alive from someone
I’m still trying to figure this out myself also
Will honey kill the bacteria it's a antibiotics I read so it's best to use maple syrup but if u drink it straight up n not save it use honey I just bought kefir n it's not tart yet just thick n creamy idk when I can drink it they say to wait a week but I wanna flavor mine with stevia or a berry shake with protein powder chia seeds n maple syrup a tablespoon
You're, you shouldn't use honey. Honey is an antibiotic - it will kill the biotics in the kefir.
I feel like something has gone wrong with my kefir grains.. they had been working great: when i second fermented with strawberry/ banana, i put small chunks of the fruit in. When it had finished the second ferment, those chunks went soft and tasted nice and fizzy/ almost alcoholic. Now when i second ferment, it's like the fruit hasn't reacted at all... It's still the same taste and texture. (Im disappointed because i really liked it before!)
I am wondering if it's because i took a few days break from making kefir - i left the grains in a small jar of low fat milk in the fridge. Maybe they got a little starved?
Can anyone help explain what's happening please?!
Sorry, but “shouldn’t use metal…”, is a nonsense. I have been using stainless steel equipment for years in the production of kefir without any hitches whatsoever.
Pretty sure it just affects the ions in the kefir - magnesium potassium etc. but you’ll still get the other benefits
@@3v3ry1that is true if you use reacting metal,like copper not stainless steel .
Where are you located what country?
Are you from Egypt?
Doesn't honey kill bacteria?
yep
Thank you for sharing.
The kefir that you show here looks to be very thin and watery - after 24 to 36hrs at maybe an average of 18 degrees centigrade ours is much thicker, after it's cooled in the 'fridge for a few hours it's thicker still... I'd expected that home made kefir would be largely comparable?
It’s because she washes the jar… it won’t thicken over time if you do that. You have to leave the bacterial colonies on the sides so it can ferment more and faster and thicken. Also your grain will grow in ideal conditions. I’ve not seen anyone wash out the jar, yikes.
@@3v3ry1 There's more to it than that - we wash our jars every time, though we do use highly filtered water that is chlorine and fluorine etc. free, which would make a difference. Our grains work very quickly, and reproduce at an alarming rate - we give batches out to many people in the locality, and theirs multiply quickly too, once they've acclimatised to their new surroundings. Maybe we've just got a virulent batch of grains - we received our from a lady in a local community centre.
@@will_doherty yes the grains themselves ultimately make the kefir faster or slower. I just got new grains that grow faster than any I’ve ever had. Washing them would probably do nothing to slow them down.
I read that you shouldn't use honey because it's antibiotic.
Ingrediant subtitles missing...
I subscribered.
Grain name???
Google kefir lady Marylin
You're the first person I've seen who rinsed out the jar before adding the grains back in. What's the point of that?
I change jars after several weeks, never rinse!
You don't have to its just preverance. I don't either but do like to see she does. I gave mine a look this morning,think I will give it a good wash next time and do as she does
You don’t!!
Does baking with the kefir kill off the beneficial bacteria and yeast?
Yes.
Yes, but there are a couple of studies that show that heat treated probiotics also seem to help, maybe not as much as live ones but it's not bad.
Yup
@@Gengh13yes because the bacterial cell walls are still useful. But of course it’s so much better if they’re alive and active.
Amazon haz the kéfir grains
How much can you drink for the first time?
All the research I've done, say don't mix with honey or turmeric
U r realy tayiba
Metal part not true.
Use srainless steel.
too clean ....
You can not make Kefir grains ( that might be true. I have to look into it) But she cracked me up saying you can only get them from Tayyiba Farms 😅😅
Do not rinse the jar! 😮🤦♀️
