I almost didn't click on this because it was 6 years old, but this was basically the perfect video. Good job, thanks!
kefir technology hasn't really changed over the last few centuries
Oh hey VC
I have new
How did it go? did you manage to heal colitis with the magic kefir?
"perfect" yea cuz Europeans sure knows wtf 70-80 degrees F means
Just wanted to add in regards to amount of probiotic strains in kefir: store bought kefir is most likely made from kefir starter, which is not kefir grains. It's made in a lab and can create kefir, but does not have nearly as many probiotics. Homemade kefir on the other hand has much more (as mentioned) because it's made from grains. Important to note.
I want to learn how to make kefir. Thank you for the information.
My kefir is not multiplying and curd separated from the water. And the grains are floating on top. Does it mean they are dead?
I am here because I saw Dr. Berg share how important Kefir is for digestion, and mood. He did mention to avoid the flavored store bought varieties due to the pasteurization, and more importantly high sugar content. He further recommended plain, organic Kefir. I then read someone’s comment that here in the U.S. he stated that Kroger Organic kefir gave him good results including an improved mood. I rarely shop at Kroger, but I might try it out while I research and order the Kefir grains I need to make my own.
@@nighinaikromirealtor no If air is trapped inside the grain, they will float which is not an issue....If water seperates, it means the kefir is over fermenting... The food is not enough...your grain are not dead if grains are big size or big quantity they will flow on top u can Google it same happened with me i was thinking same
+😂q😅😅//
your dog looks like kefir grains :D thanks for awesome video, short and precise!
😅😅
Lol! Was thinking the exact same thing. Was going to ask what the dog looked like before the kefir program. Great, informative video.
Haha! That made me laugh! 😄 Now I can see kefir grains when I see the cute little dog 😁
This is the best Kefir video on the web.
I agree!
sir you're damn right
Fabulous! I'm so happy to hear that it answered all your questions. That was my aim - to get you started with a one-stop tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate the compliment!
Awesome video. I have lactose intolerance at the moment, so I really want to try this. Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but do you have a link that you sell kefir grains through or wher you buy/bought them from?
@Tara Ross can you suggest best and trustable kafir source in online for buy .
Tara! You have only posted one video and where are you now? Are you still drinking Milk Kefir? My friend just told me about it and I found your channel with nearly 8K subscribers. I hope you’re doing well, thank you for the best video of making kefir.
Make more videos or I will be gay
Still after 7 years, best kefir video on TH-cam. Clear, concise and provide information I haven’t heard else where. Thank you for this video!
I agree.
She’s the best!
I agree
Try make pancakes with Kefir milk. Its heavenly 🙂 im a dairyfarmer so i got plenty of acess to raw delicious milk
Edit: we usually pick wild blueberries and wild cloudberris that we use on the pancakes along with some sugar.
Sounds delicious. I’m going to try it. Thanks for sharing!
provenxreaperx do you happen to know if the fermentation takes care of possible bad bacteria in raw milk? I know best case is the milk is clean and perfect to begin with but just in case I was wondering if the warm temperatures could help bad stuff grow just as well???
#DairyFarmersRock
@@Finn959 There are not bad bacteria in our milk. it get cooled down to 3,7 degrees celsius as fast as possible to keep bacteria from forming.
minding hygene when milking like washing the udder clean and handling the milk is also important. also here in Norway we never use antibiotics to supplement the cattle feed to keep animals healthy. so less antibiotics, great care, clean barn, space, outdoor grassing in the summer etc are also contribituting to Norway have the the most healthy cows and the lowest amount of antibiotics of any other country in the world.
Are you in Canada by chance? I need raw milk!
After watching Dr.Eric Burg about Kefir, wanted to check out how to make it at home! Very informative video, thank you!
@Tara, I started drinking Kefir over a year ago. Kefir has helped me overcome Hypothyroidism, and stay cancer free. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I have not taken any medications of any kind since January 1, 2016. Now, one year later, I am sharing Kefir grains with friends and family as well as teaching people how to make cultured/fermented foods.
I have been meaning to come on here to thank you for your video on how to make Kefir, yours is the best I have found. Often people ask me to make/post a video on how to make Kefir but all I do is share yours. So, if you have over 600,000 views it's probably because I've shared it about that many times! =D
Hope you are staying well. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I hope many are listening and trying a natural way to heal. I am experiencing, firsthand, the benefits of this amazing drink. It has change my life.
Awesome. Congrats!
I’m very happy for you that you e regained your health!!! 🎉😊
Ive just started my first batch 27/10/2023, its only 7 hrs 30 mins in the cupboard, im kinda looking forward to the final result, hope ive done it right🤔 my grains are small at the moment, only about 10g...see how it goes, keep on sharing 😉👍
I also have hashimoto's, but I'm casein intolerant. I don't eat any dairy but this raw milk kefir, which I just started about a week ago.Did you have any dairy issues before?
I also have celiac. I was told, and even read, about hashimoto's and gluten/dairy allergies or intolerances.
@@ely42609 use water kefir than
THANK YOU!!!!! The best directions I have ever found on Kefir!!!
That double fermentation technique is some universe brain technology.
It's the Creation at work, just like heated Tomatoes.
@@drewc.2734 when doing double fermentation do you leave the lid just sitting loosely as in 1st fermentation or close it she didn't say, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much☘
@@saints82 closed tight
@@drewc.2734 Thank you Drew🤗
@@saints82 Sure, no problem. You see, the logical consequence here is to 'shut off' their oxygen & food supply, so that they can now run around inside the container to feed off of any new food laying around (lemon, lime, orange, or banana peel, grape, strawberry, or vanilla bean, etc.).
What this does is increases the nutrients and the vitamins and the probiotics in any added fruits or vegetables. But.. most important is to remember a little goes a long way. Only the smallest amount needs to be locked in there with these guys. You can literally add anything to the jar. E.g., a quart jar only needs 1-2 grapes, or a thinly sliced orange, or just 2 small slivers of lemon peel, etc.
The 2nd ferment of the Kefir also has a lot to do with enzyme increase too. Either way, you can't really mess it up or make a mistake. Anything you add (in the smallest amounts) is only a new food source that the little guys will happily feed on in the fridge while they are waiting for you to eat the Kefir.
Time is not too important. I've kept my 2nd ferments in the fridge for as long as 10 days. The 2nd ferment also gets rid of an amount of sourness (which I actually like) so if you wait a week or 2 on the 2nd ferment to drink, the sourness returns a bit (because they have exhausted their new food source).
I'm sure - after rereading this/my post, that you are now better educated and will have no problems from here on out. :)
11/11/2023 im in the process of making my 4th 2L batch of milk kefir, my grains have grown, my kefir is now a yoghurt consistency and it has a fizz to it, i ferment between 24-30hrs then decant into a 2L bottle and put in my fridge, i repeat when ive got about 500ml left, taste is delicious, very refreshing, guts feel a bit better for it, i drink aprox 300ml on an empty stomach and same again 30 mins before sleep, IBS/IBD has settled a little, caae of see how it goes, have a blessed day all👍
You are the very BEST in properly pronouncing KEFIR and the best way to take care of the grains. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for all that information. You presented it wonderfully. Made my first batch and had my first cup of Kefir, I feel better already! Immediately. Recovering from inflamed gut due to long undiagnosed celiacs.
I've been making kefir for about 15 years and I have to applaud your video skills and thank you for sharing this. This is the best,most informative video I've ever seen on kefir and you do everything very well. On a side note I can tell you know what you're talking about from the beginning just because you can pronounce the stuff. You don't know how many times I've been corrected by someone thinking my "kuh-feer" should "kee-fuhr" which makes me giggle. "keh-feer" is cool too. :)
It's such a wonderful thing and thanks for spreading it in a positive way.
All goodness and delight😉👍
This comment section is one of the best I've seen in a long time. like people actually making a conversation. jokes, advice, gratitude for the video, it's really nice.
3/3/2024 This the best kefir making video on the internet. Covers everything you need to know in less than 6 minutes. Glad it's still available to all those looking for good, concise and through information on the subject. Bless you.
The best demonstration I have ever seen on you tube, and wonderful explenation on how to make kefir !
Seriously if you watch all of the other videos relating to this topic she's the only one that makes sense because the whole time I just sat and thought about how wine and yeast works and all the other videos were stupid as hell with people just wasting milk
Thanks for the tutorial! I have been looking everywhere for instructions to making kefir and yours is just perfect! Very clear and organized, informative yet brief and interesting. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Indeed a very helpful tutorial.
Thank you SO much for this video! Nice and clear, plus also short, sweet and straight to the point. I was even blown away when you said that you healed your Crohns with this, because I have SERIOUS gut issues, so that gave me a lot of encouragement. I will definitely do the 2nd ferment .Thank you so very much. Now all I need to do is order some grains and raw milk...... 🤗
You can also freeze the grains to store them as well. I visited my aunt in Puerto Rico and brought some frozen over on the plane (to Texas). There’re working out pretty good.
Hi it will b really helpful if u plz tell me u bring in a hand luggage is it allowed? The custom thingi etc .how did u store in travelling plz
This is appears to be the only video made. I pray you are still doing well. You done a good job in sharing your knowledge on how to make Kefir. I figured your story would grow into more things you can do with Kefir.
this is great. thank you for such a clear and articulate step by step description. most appreciated.
In casa day maryland it's illegal to sell raw milk except for pets. I've noticed my pets have developed quite a taste for raw milk.
Howard Johnson I laughed way too hard 😂😂😂
Hmmmmm OK, lol
@John Smith the FDA is crazy man
Honestly I feel as if all of this coddling just makes us weaker. If we never come into contact with it we'll just be all the more vulnerable.
We have nigerian dwarf goats, which make a really creamy goat milk. They recently had kids and we milked them, and our dogs absolutely loved getting a little dish of fresh goat milk.
Amazing video Tara, thanks for explaining it. I've just gotten my kefir grains today. Bought some organic goats milk, so here we go. Just have to by the plastic strainer and two mason jars. I´ll share it when it gets too big, because sharing kefir is caring :)
Hi Tara :)
I'm wondering if you seal the jar for the second fermentation, or do you just place the cap on the jar un-tightened like the first batch w/ the grains? Thanks!!
+Ash Smith I don't see a reason to ever seal the jar. The only instance I know of where you want to seal during a ferment is when making something like homemade root beer. And you want to seal it to give it carbonation.
Yeah. You probably don't want carbonated kefir haha
Sealing it will make an excellent and nutrient dense bomb of dairy and glass.
I’d like to know the answer to that very question… to seal or not to for second fermentation?
@@dianeramos6900 Do not seal the second fermentation, unless you have a burp lid for your jar.
At last! A simple easy to follow video which doesn't leave me all confused with side tracking
In all the years I've been watching TH-cam tutorial videos, I don't think I have see one as professional and enjoyable as this. It answered all my questions in one hit. Brilliant, but where are you now? Best wishes, and many thanks.
Just thought I'd check back and say, yeah, I made kefir exactly like this girl said, inc. second fermentation and it produced 100% flawless kefir. Thanks again, Tara.
My kefir is not multiplying and curd separated from the water. And the grains are floating on top. Does it mean they are dead?
Where to get grain?
@@nighinaikromirealtor Did you used raw milk?
@@michellenite5393 no, I used organic milk
@Able Danger I'm in London, Abe.
Your video is perfect. Three years ago I started making my own kefir and was only given a 5 minute tutorial on what to do. So to TH-cam I went. Your video was about the 5th or 6th one I watched and I remember thinking, "Thank God! Finally someone with a video that is easy to understand."
This last summer my grains took off like crazy and I ended up with almost a half gallon of grains. Yikes! Posted them on Craigslist for free and have been giving away grains to 1 - 2 people a week ever since. They are all newbies like I was and after a 20 minutes lesson, I refer them to your video for a refresher and more detailed information.
Thank you taking the time to make this video. You are my hero.
Judi (Portland, Or).
Just started marking my own kefir at home so this was reassuring to know I'm doing it correctly. Great and informative video.
Where do you get your grains? Any recommendations? 🙏
@@dominiquew.8181 This was 7 years ago. It didn't work. Bought the grains from Amazon so that's probably why. Haven't tried it since.
My goodness! This is the best video on how to make kefir I have seen. You are so clear in your instructions! Thank you!!
After years of me lecturing, my dad with IBS (umbrella term these days for when docs don't know what the hell is going on lol) he finally started taking it. He is now off ALL meds for his IBS and diverticulitis. Amazing! I love it in smoothies because the taste for me is too strong.
So glad I came across this video and your comment. My mom is having a diverticulitis flair and after seeing comments about chrons and IBS I figured keefir would be good for her. Glad I was right.
Is it possible the grains will increase in size until they take over earth ?
If the oceans turn into milk.YES.
I don't think it will happen because leadership will probably catch on to it before it becomes an earth issue
@Reyes25111 he is just projecting his own perspective, it's very sad, we should feel sorry for Tony
Who's Tony?
Were you high when you wrote this ?
This is one of the best videos I found on making kefir. It was very well written, with clear directions and helpful guidelines on what it should look like and smell like. Thanks very much!
I’ve wanted to make kefir for a long time, but it always seemed too complicated. Thank you for making such a great video and explaining it so well!
Just discovered kefir a few months ago. Really like it. I think I'll make this homemade kind. Great vid, tks.
Hi Tara. The video is still relavent today. The content, the audio clarity, the camera perfection, everything feels like a video of today.
I wish you syart again. Almost everything about kefor os doscussed in this video. I like the last point you told that we can store them immersed in milk in the fridge when we go on vacation. Because we might not make kefir all the time.
Kudos!
Oh wow. I didn't realize I can double ferment kefir.Thanks for the tip. :3
Yup! And it's waaaay more nutritious. Glad to help. :)
@@CrohnsBabeTV where do you purchase your kefir grains? Also do you have a fb or if account to follow?
@@jameschadwick2331 I just bought some on amazon For less than $10 by Mrs.Kefir
@@mike0133 Hi Tara, been using your recipe for years and have shared it numerous times. I've 2 ?s I'd appreciate you clearing up for me. 1.On 2nd ferment is lid closed or on loosely?
2. Sometimes l notice that my grains which have been sitting in the jar 2 wks when opened look a white furry or a little fine white grainy almost like a mild. Doesn't smell off. It just concerns me. I scrape of the top layer, strain & it seems ok when fermented. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, many thanks & God bless you☘ Sandra
After watching dozens of videos on homemade kefir, I can honestly say this is the best one. You've answered all my questions! Just subscribed! Thank you so much!
Great video, I got my grains from Mr and Mrs Kefir. They grow so quickly and taste delicious!
I love that you pronounce kefir in a way that isnt painful
I am from Baltic states, me and my family drink kefir since I was young everyday, kefir is like most traditional drink in my country
I'm making this. After spending a fortune on protein powders to try to develop more muscle naturally, it didn't work. But, 3 weeks into making kefir, until I get the curds and whey, ice noticed a big difference in my muscle definition. Apart from that, this stuff is beginning to heal my bad hip and ischial bursitis. Absolutely ridiculously good for you. Please drink this!
so many people skip the key factors that someone new to the process (me) wouldnt know to look for, like how the kefir is supposed to look/smell when done. but not you. good job on the video ✌
Well done video!! I too believe kefir has saved me from life with crohns. I store bought dairy kefir.. which is good but expensive. Then i found out about water kefir and have been making that for about 6 months. I absolutely love it. But am now ready to take on both water kefir and dairy. My whole family loves it. And has done wonders for everyone
Excellent guide to kefir. A friend at work gave me some kefir, stored in milk at fridge temperature. To start from here, am I right in saying take it out of the fridge for 24 hours to ferment, strain it, and put the strained kefir back in the fridge to cool? (I can’t drink it at room temperature). I will add this to my smoothies. Then use the strained graines to the same jar and ferment again. I’ve read many guides that start from new grains at room temperature. I’m starting new from fridge temperature milk and grains. Many thanks for this. (I love the perpetual nature of kefir that draws me to the wonderful nature of the kefir making process).
👏👏👏 direct to the point in 5 mins, thanks Tara💗
I just ordered some grains off Etsy from a best selling provider. Can't wait to try this. Thank you for such a concise and professional video! You could teach how to make mud and I would watch.
Now I know how to make it AND pronounce it. Thank you! Great video.
Couple things.
1. When you make a new batch, is the fresh milk you add to the strained grains cold or room temperature?
2. Will you marry me? :P
Cold is fine. I use mine straight out of the fridge.
1. I pour it cold straight from the fridge.
2. I'm flattered, but my heart is taken. ;)
You only want her for her kefir.
hi when adding the milk do you pour it so the jar is nearly full like in the video?
Tara Rosas LoL
Thank you, I agree, this is the best video on how to!!
Sharing with many!!!
I add a few pieces of fruit to my 2nd fermentation ( 2 strawberries cut up, a few slices of pears or apples, even cut several blueberries in half!
I was trying to find a video on how to pronounce "Neufchâtel" and "Kefir" and stumbled across your video. Your very professional and delightful; good work!👍👍
very informative and to the point video.. I have seen many kefir preparation videos but this one sums all up with simple instructions.. thanks so much... hope I will also make kefir. can you suggest where should I buy these? some suggested amazon, but I am not sure...
ankita ahuja ikr? After watching many many videos of kefir I found this one to be the best with all the info and amazing quality
ankita ahuja buy on etsy
great video. Much more professional than many of the others on TH-cam. Straight to the point with lots of great info ! thank you very much
Davina Theriaque, (not sure why I have no reply option for you) but to answer your question, I said "leech" metals. It's sometimes believed that the kefir will pull metal from utensils or bowls into the beverage. This has been debated among experts so some choose to use plastic or mesh strainers.
in that case your blender blades should be plastic as well:) oh wait then you get hormone disrupting bpa. where is my bamboo blender at? lol
Craigson Burg
I'm sure the milk kefir briefly touching something metal, including a blender, is fine. But if someone wants to take extra precaution, they can simply shake it in the jar. Also, my blender does not contain BPA. If you don't care for the video or the information, why bother even commenting??
you dont have to over react to my comment which was only kidding. And where did I say your blender in particular had bpa in it? So dont put words in my mouth thankyou very much. I do appreciate her efforts. Do you appreciate mine in educating people about blender blades being metal and coming into contact with kefir grains?
Hi tara i cant find kefir in tx can you share some with me Lol.... Or you know somebody that sells....
Tara Rosas Great video Tara, I love it. I have a question though, why isn't my kefir thickening like yours? Everything else goes as smoothly as in your video but when I strain it it just isn't all that thick. I don't think there is anything wrong with my grains, the taste and smell are there, but the thickness is lacking. Also, my culture is growing out of control. Wish I could share it with you people.
I share this video with anyone that asked me on how to make Kefir. You cover everything well and get to the point. Thanks.
Hi 👋
The most comprehensive and logical explained video about chefir.
A truly wonderful miracle food, The gift from nature that keeps on giving 😊 I discovered Kefir 10yrs ago and it has certainly helped my health and heal my body.
Congratulations on your excellent instructional video, Tara. I'm new to the delights of Kefir, but found your video engaging and really clear. Like the grains themselves, your work continues to yield much benefit.
Very well presented, Tara; your voice, clarity, explanations, and visuals are all contributors along with Roxy's affirmation to your testimonials! I am looking forward to making kefir and thank you for your talent and time to share the procedure and tips. 😀
Best, most concise video and SO easy to understand! Thanks!
This is well made video on kefir ! Congratulations ! It's a pity though this is the only video one on your channel...
I think it's called the 'feel good' beverage because a longer fermented Kefir can contain up to 2% alcohol :)
Thank you Tara, I found this video extremely informative. I've started making my own. I hate the taste but I know it's good for me so I will persevere. Warm hugs from a cold northern England 🤗
At one time, I was using raw goat milk, which worked very well. I don't remember it having that distinctive flavor that goat cheese has, though.
I've also used the grains to make apple cider and bread. For bread, I'd use the yeast from the bottom of the cider bottle. Once I've used some grains outside of milk, I wouldn't use them with milk again.
I know this is an old video but i am hoping you will see my question! I want to use raw goats milk, however the instructions i got with my grain said not to even use raw milk when starting my grains. It said i could switch to it after, but I should use regular, pasteurized whole milk to start them with.
It sounds like you started your grains in the raw goats milk and it workedfine?
Tara you are a motivation ! Seriously I lost hope in everything and doctors, they are just puppets your right they don’t know anything about gut health they can’t even tell me what I have to this day just tell me I’ll need this later I life and it’s going to get worse etc total un motivating. I really feel happy after watching your story hope you stay healthy.
Great explanation, a friend gave me some grains and i'm going to start using. you've cleared up so much on how to ferment. Thanks
If you heat the raw milk to 88 degrees and then mix in room temp grains it will ferment much faster. 5-12 hours. You can get raw milk in all states, some is just sold for pets only. It’s still fine. I get it straight from the farm and it’s labeled for pets only. It’s delicious.
88 Celsius or Farenhajt?
@@dijanakrstic4195 Fahrenheit , sorry.
Make more 101 videos please. Yours was the only one that I found straight to the point, and clear, also accurate!
I love this video, it gives you a full scope of what it's good for, how to make it, how to use it, and tips on how to keep it fresh.
Thanks
Thank you for this, I needed kefir for a Russian bread recipe that I've wanted to try, but Kroger and Aldi don't sell it, now I can make it.
Short, clear, straight to the point! so good stuff! Thanks!
Hi Tara, love this video. Thank you! Just one question: Do you rinse you kefir grains?
You don't need to rinse grains 🙂
As Jo said, you don't need to. In fact, it is not advised at all.
I used this video to make raw goat milk kefir almost 3 years ago, and I cured my hypothyroid in one month drinking the kefir and doing the Whole 30 diet. It hasn't returned. Excellent video.
Oh cool!
Do you use the same exact “grains” of the video to start it off?
And I assume you could use sheep 🐑 milk as well, yes?
@@cristinaenriquezart I don't know what grains she used on video. I've used different ones I got locally. I think as long as it's fresh milk right from the source, it's probably better than store bought milk. But organic store milk probably is better than store bought kefir if you make it yourself. Do you have hypothyroid or just encouraged by the success story? The Whole 30 diet was a major component as well.
@@SleepingTiger-vlog thank you for replying :)
I’m interested for my husband who is consuming kefir as a new element in his diet but I’m trying to make it at home instead. He does not have hyperthyroid, no.
He prefers goat 🐐 or sheep 🐑 milk so I was wondering if I could use the same method of the video but substitute the raw cow 🐄 milk with other milks.
Do you tighten the lid on the jar on the second ferment, or do you leave it loose like on the first ferment? Thank you
It's tightened to suffocate the grains from oxygen. It's unnecessary if you just continue on for a 36-hour or 48-hour ferment and store the Kefir in the fridge after straining.
Great video about making kefir. One thing I wanted to add though.....All milk bought from the store is free from antibiotics. Milk gets tested multiple times before getting to the milk plant. Milk from a dairy get put down the drain if there is a trace of antibiotics.
Thanks for the great video and concise explanations.
Just started doing kefir, wanted to double check my process, your video helped a lot. Thanks !!
I have watched many Kefir Videos. This is probably the best one I have seen. You did a great job of not only explaining all of the important facts about Kefir but you did a great job of showing how to make homemade Kefir. The only thing I think that was left out was the history of Kefir. But besides that, this was an awesome awesome video.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Laura. So happy to hear that you found my tutorial helpful. I very much wanted to include the history of kefir as it is so fascinating! I had to restrain myself in order to stay mindful of the time; keeping it short and easy to digest. I have considered doing a couple of follow up videos to get more into depth about history, care of grains, etc. We shall see!
Definitely do some more follow-up videos. I would love to see them.
Perfect demonstration of how to make kefir. You made it look so simple and encouraging! Thank you. xoxo
the illustration is clear and straightforward, for a lazy person like me, I will start making some kefir myself now.
So informative! Thank you Tara for helping me get started with kefir, I too have gut issues that need to be addressed and healed. Now I can feel confident about my knowledge and start the healing process with some great probiotics!
My first How To video and I'm done searching. Good video. I can't wait to try it out.
You have one of the easiest to follow kefir making videos on the net. Kudos to you, Tara!
Love your video! Thank you for being concise and full of great information!
The only kefir instructions you'll ever gonna need. Very nicely done! :)
The best Kafir video I have found! However, I still have questions! The quest continues…
This is the best video I’ve seen on the process. I just started drinking raw kefir and want to start making my own. How much do you drink a day. Currently I am doing one cup but have a lot of healing I need to go through
All of the oldest documented studies from as early as 1908 show that about a litre a day suffice to bring about major changes in a multitude of ailments. So, about a quart-ish daily. Start small, maybe 16 oz. People have felt results in as little as 3 days, most notably in a week or so of drinking it on an empty stomach 1st thing in the morning.
Roxie looked less than impressed lol
Thank you so much for pronouncing this correctly....
I found out about Kefir recently when i was looking for something really powerfull and natural to help me recover after surgery and 12 days of strong antibiotics, so i've started making it and i hope it will help me heal myself. Thank you for the wonderfull video and demonstration, really nice to hear it helped you too :)
did it helped?
How did this work for you?
Great video. I have been making water kefir for about two months. It's my glass or two of wine. I guess I'll need to add milk kefir and Kambucha now.
hey guys, I've just rewatched this video for some reason and saw the comments. So i just want to let you know that it's been superb for my gut health! Combined with water Kefir it helped me greatly with my gut. Digestion and immune system are better than even before surgery and antibiotics. I let it ferment for 48 hours cause i like the stronger and more sour Kefir. I strongly recommend it! :)
voltaspeeder17 I’m intrigued. Definitely will try.
Wonderful video Tara! The instructions are detailed and well explained. Bravo!
Cups of milk?
Thanks for that!!! I'm gonna make some tomorrow!!! Woo hooh!!!
4:10 yessss thats what I was looking for :)))))) thx you
One of if not the MOST informal and understandable videos ever in any topic. So much truth about the reality of kefir and raw milk and its health benefits, no vegan fairytales.. thank you so much for sharing this! Hope we get to see more traditional and highly nutritious food preparations 😌
Excellent information and the quality of your video is amazing (Very professional). I have RA and am a newbie to the GAPS diet. I am LOVING Kefir (A family is blessing me with organic, grass fed Goat Milk).....Ours turns out a bit thin though. We are going to use a couple of your tips though. Thank you for sharing this info. I'm so happy that you are disease free. I'm on a quest to be RA free naturally. I'm going to start a video wellness journal on my YT channel soon. Keep the videos coming! You are inspiring to my wife and myself. God bless.
Hi, Mark! Thank you so much for your kind message. I'm so glad to hear that my video has been inspiring to you and your wife. I completely believe that you can find relief for your RA through natural methods and I wish you the best on your journey. I look forward to hearing more. Also, know that goat's milk will always produce runnier kefir. Just the way it is with it. ;)
CrohnsBabeTV Thank you for replying. That means a lot. Please check out my YT channel and subscribe if you would like....Maybe leave a comment. I'm going to be doing regular videos on all of the techniques that I've been using for my RA. I've spent a few days with my kefir techniques and I've been able to get it thicker and approaching sparkling by: Putting about 4+ tablespoons (!!) of grains @ the bottom of a half gallon mason jar, covering the grains with existing kefir, then pour the goats milk over that. Then I just rest the lid on the bottle, let it sit covered for 18 hours, strain it, then pour the Kefir back in....Screw the lid on tight, cover it again in the cabinet and let it sit for 6 to 7 hours before putting it in the fridge. Then I'll wait at least 12 hours before I drink it. It's turning out much thicker and, like I said, maybe slightly sparkly. THANK YOU for your video.....It was my launching pad and this newbie is loving the whole process of making, what I consider, to be my medicine. I've subscribed to you lovely channel...Keep the videos coming! :-) Have a great weekend! Mark
