people are so complicated. Thank you for making it simple! Lovely music
thank you for a quick and easy video! very easy to grasp and it looks absolutly delicious 😋
Thank you very much,your instructions are always very clear.
Great video! Professional, relaxing, no time fillers! Best video on the process I have seen. Thank you for calming me and educating me.
thank you for making this as simple and straight to the point as possible :)
You're very welcome--I really strive to create simple recipes with the most straight-forward equipment and processes. . . but also artistically and wonderful tasting!!
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen What kefir grains did you use? I am wanting to make this, but as dairy free as possible
@@luvfitall me too I am dairy free
Perfect. Thank you.
Nhummy, thank you for sharing ❤
I wish everyone make video like this, simple step by step.
This was so nice and relaxing to watch. I love coconut kefir. Will be trying this
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you are going to try it!
When making COCONUT MILK KEFIR does it matter which type of grains you use? (Milk Grains vs. Water Grains) Because I heard Milk grains needs to be revitalized in milk/dairy every 3 batches so it doesn’t die, but I don’t think water grains have that issue.
You have to use milk kefir grains to make coconut kefir. Yes, you have to feed the grains with dairy milk after 3-4 cycles. Otherwise, it will die. With water kefir grains, you only feed sugar to it and it will keep growing!
Thank you very much
Thank you so much! Loved the video. I just tried making coconut milk kefir with freshly squeezed coconut milk and I wonder if I used too much water when I extracted the milk from the grated coconut so the kefir is runny or that the grains still need to adapt. Do you have any advice?
Thank you 🙏
Hi, thank you for the information!
May I know, can we use raw coconut milk, or it has to be pasteurized?
*Well done!* Lovely, no nonsense video ;)
Thanks for this video. You used milk kefir grains or water kefir grains ?
What keifer grains do you use to ensure vegan and dairy free?
Lovely video. When you say coconut milk do you mean this can be done out of the coconut milk brought in the grocery store or tinned coconut cream? It looked quite think. My coconut milk is for cereal, tea etc. would this still work? 😊
Thank you - so to keep your grains healthy, do you store them in dairy milk between fermenting in plant milks? I’m so excited to make kefir, but I’m plant based so I’m doing coconut milk.
I’ve heard not to rinse the grains in water, as it is like stripping their protective “clothing” off and rinses away prized bacteria. How important is a plastic strainer vs. a metal?
Wonderful & straight to the point. Deffo new subbie.
Thank you!
Sissy.....You really made the recipe supercoool ,,,easyyyy and healthy😋😋😋😋😋.....
Arjun Cool Thank you, Arjun!
after looking at different coconut milk products i watched your video to find out what product you use or if milk grains will ferment any of them even though they have additives in them. i wish you had addressed that. ty.
nice texture
Thank you!
We’re those water kefir grains or milk kefir grains?
I’m wanting to try it with water kefir grains
Do I need to add sugar?
Does it matter what coconut milk I use?
Does coconut milk kefir have the same probiotics ? Thanks K
u must be an angel
How do you get it to firm up? I make mine using the same procedure (except I use a cloth breathable cover rather than a closed cover). For me it sometimes firms up and sometimes it doesn't firm once putting it into the refrigerator. I use high quality coconut milk (Native Forrest) and grains. Any suggestions?? Thank you
Can i reuse the leftover juice like a starter?
If you didn't have fresh coconut milk on hand could you use a good canned coconut milk?
great video, how do you make the coconut milk?
Thank you! I make my coconut milk from dried coconut, and here is the link th-cam.com/video/UZzhQavbZOk/w-d-xo.html
Can a lactose intolerant person drink it as it contains milk kefir grains?
Or can i make this with dry kefir grains which haven't been used?
Does this work with low sugar drinking milk? or just full fat tinned milk?
Will kefir powder work with this?
Hello there, first I want to say thank you for such a beautiful & delightful presentation along with the straightforward lesson! May I ask, why does coconut milk kefir not need a second fermenting stage, like dairy milk does? Also, do your grains feed only on coconut milk every time? I heard the grains need to feed on dairy sugar (lactose) to stay alive. Trying to learn and understand the process! Thanks so much!
You're very welcome. The second fermentation is to allow it to develop more flavor, but you don't need to. The grains I use for this is milk kefir grains, and I need to put it back to recover in dairy milk after 3 batches of using coconut milk--other wise they will die. So this coconut kefir is not 100% vegan.
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen Wait, so this isn’t vegan?
@@Butterflyneverlands
Hi there. I am right as of now trying to make soy milk kefir, after learning that I can not tolerate the casein hormone, in any dairy at all🥺
So I washed my kefir grains, in some of the water ,you would use when you Iron your shirts,it contains no clorine,so it is best to use, I think, for cleaning the kefir grains, before using them in any non dairy milk, at least, I am doing it this way now, I will see if it is possible, so I dont get any dairy at all 😀👍!
Best wishes from 🇩🇰
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen can’t add sugar or fruits to coconut milk for revival? The grains can feed on sugar or fructose, no? Thanks.
Can i ask what coconut milk you use?
Is this milk derived from blending dry coconut meat or the meat of young green coconuts
Are (dairy) milk kefir grains good for coconut kefir?
What's the best Kefir brand to buy on amazon. Anyone can tell me?
How does the kefir taste like?
can you explain more about putting the kefir grain back into diary milk. So after making two batches you put the kefir grains into diary milk for two days?
Yes you rejuvinate the grains by putting them into dairy milk for two cycles (usually 24 hrs/cycle) as the kefir grains eat the lactose in dairy milk. There may be more helpful info for you in my blog post on this too: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/03/26/coconut-milk-kefir-best-probiotic-drink/
MAY I ASK THIS WHAT HAPPENS IF I USE WATER KEFIR GRAINS TO MAKE COCONUT MILK KEFIR ?? CAN IT BE SAFE TO DRINK ? AND CAN IT TASTE GOOD ??? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
Beautiful video
Thank you!
Beautifully done!
Thank you!
Where do you get the Kefir grains?
I’ve never heard of this, does it really change the texture of the coconut milk when it turns into kefir?
It gets tangy and thicker-- very healthy and tasty.
Asmr af tbh
I love your videos...for this kefir do you use normal milk kefir or water kefir grains? It doesn’t need sugar to feed the kefir grains?
She uses milk kefir grains. They look white and like cauliflower.
What's taste like vs cow or goat milk?
You mentioned to save the grains for the next batch. I didn't see ant grains left. Can you instruct me please?
I think my blog post with the full details will help with this: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/03/26/coconut-milk-kefir-best-probiotic-drink/
Can I freeze it or will the kefir probiotics die?
What about sugar for it to feed off
Could I use coconut cream instead and make yoghurt with it?
Good question. I think it should work fine. I might try it myself too. thanks for the idea!
Do you second ferment this?
No, I don't. I usually drink it fresh right after I strain it.
Can you please tell me how you feed the kefir grains, there is no lactic acid in coconut milk, do you feed them some sugar. I used to make my own kefir using raw milk but am now vegan
Unfortunately, there are no other ways that I know off besides feeding them dairy milk once every few days. If they don't get dairy, they will become weaker and die eventually. Please share if you find a vegan way!
Thanks for reply sissy I am looking for the dried type but there are so many out there that aren’t kefir probiotics which are unique and the best for our health. When I find the right one I’ll let you know. As always a lovely relaxing and to the point video, thank you. 💚💚💚
A friend that’s not vegan gives me some of her milk grains (since they keep multiplying) when mine gets week and die. That’s an option if you don’t feel comfortable buying milk for ethical reasons. Water kefir is a good option too. It uses different grains but it’s very delicious
what s the music piece name?
You did with homemade coconut milk? If yes could I have the recipe
I do have a video on homemade coconut milk here: th-cam.com/video/UZzhQavbZOk/w-d-xo.html with a blog post that includes more detail: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/02/14/homemade-coconut-milk-sustainable/
However, nowadays I like to make coconut milk from fresh brown mature coconuts as I did in this video: th-cam.com/video/b1jF1BM58kY/w-d-xo.html which also has a blog post with more detail here: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2019/03/26/cold-pressed-virgin-coconut-oi/
Hi....
Need some help....
I am make milk kefir from full fat dairy milk from last 2 yrs. But my wife is a vegen and she don't drink this.....can I prepare kefir in coconut milk using milk milk kefir grains.
Can you refrigerate the coconut kefir and drink it later, like milk kefir?
Melissa W yes, just mix it well before drink!
great video
Thank you so much!
Could I use a metal spoon or metal mesh? Or is there a reason metal cannot be used?
You cannot use metal as it ruins the kefir. I don't really know the real reason why, but the grains get weak and die quickly if they have been exposed to metal for an extended period of time. I have seen it happen many times, and it is no fun to throw out.
How many times can i make coconut kefir with milk kefir grains straight?
Do they die if i only do coconut kefir?
I find it about 3 cycles straight are ok, then put them back to dairy milk about 2 cycles and you can use them for making coconut kefir again. The grains need to feed on dairy lactose to survive.
Can I use the carton dairy free coconut milk in the supermarkets?
Yes I have used that coconut milk, but it needs to be the one for cooking, not drinking, and it works--but do see my full recipe for the steps too: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/03/26/coconut-milk-kefir-best-probiotic-drink/
what kind of kefir do you use the water or milk.
I use milk kefir grains.
Hai... We can use normal milk kefir for these coconut milk kefir ah?
I use dairy milk kefir grains. After a few batches of coconut milk, I need to put them back to dairy milk other wise they'll die.
Beautiful music!
Thank you, I love this music too.
did you grow yourself the kefir mushroom?
No, I bought it from kefirlady.com (not sponsored)
Every recipe I’ve seen for coconut yogurt has them using something breathable (cheesecloth or towel) on top of the jar while it ferments for 48 hours. Did you use a regular hard top because you made kefir instead of yogurt? Does it work to use a hard top on the jar while fermenting coconut YOGURT?
I think so as long as you don't close it too tight.
What coconut milk did you use, please? I’m having a hard time to find one with enough sugar for the grains
I use both homemade coconut milk and store bought, but I do have to put the grains back in dairy milk after every 2 or 3 cycles before they are ready to make coconut kefir again. There is some more information on my blog post for this you may find helpful too: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/03/26/coconut-milk-kefir-best-probiotic-drink/
Gourmet Vegetarian Kitchen thanks! What’s the brand for the store one please?
I have found many brands that seem to work well, but Thai Kitchen is the one I tend to use most.
Gourmet Vegetarian Kitchen thanks
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen so you need to use actual coconut milk ONLY in the can and not the ones you can buy in the box or bottle that has all those extra ingredients?
Source of coconut milk? 👊
can coconut milk kefir be used to make curry
I don't recommend using it to make curry because the living bacteria would be cooked in the process of making the curry.
recognising bwv 934 playing in the bg because of portal 2 is a strange experience
Where does one get kefir grains?
I got fresh kefir grains from kefirlady.com/ (not affiliated)
Nice music , much better than irritating chat ! K
Katharine Davis yesssss gosh I stopped watching so many bcz they talk to darn much
How does it taste? I made one and it didn't change the consistency, it taste like spoiled coconut milk
It tastes really good but it's not thick like yogurt. You can certainly tell if it's spoiled.
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen i think mine was spoiled... maybe the coconut milk i made was not good..
Where can you get kefir grains?
I got them from a small vendor called kefirlady.com
Those grains are the.same used in cow milk?
Yes, the kefir is not vegan as the grains need to be fed with cow milk every 3-4 cycles, other wise they die.
@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen ok.. so I'll do this too because I have then....rsrsrs.
Crackin coconut right now to make this....a lot of work
I know, I put my grains in the freezer :) I haven't made it since I stopped buying dairy milk.
When I get the grains out of the milk do I need to rinse them before I place them in the coconut milk or it doesn't matter?
Greg Polymerou you don’t have to. In fact it’s better if you don’t rinse them.
You don't need too, unless you are allergic to dairy milk or don't really to have it in your coconut kefir. Make sure to put the grains back in dairy milk after a few cycle of making it. The grains need lactose in dairy milk to survive.
Where are the kefir grains
Really... no added sugar? Pure coconut milk has less than 1 gram of carbohydrates. Don't the kefir grains needs some kind of sugar to grow and multiply?
Yes the Kefir grains do need sugar to grow, but that is why every third or 4th cycle I have to put the grains back into dairy milk. There are more details about my process in my blog post: gourmetvegetariankitchen.com/2018/03/26/coconut-milk-kefir-best-probiotic-drink/

No music please, very annoying !
