[145] #LeoTries | 1st time brewing Water Kefir (thanks @_michikitaplantinggreens). I followed some sources on the internet. The 1st bottle I made, exploded. LOL. Thankfully, this one did not. 😁 I added some sliced apples, just to know how it will affect the taste.😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ //What is Water Kefir? (healthline.com) Water kefir is a fermented, carbonated beverage that is produced using water kefir grains. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also known as tibicos, California bees, Japanese water crystals and other names, water kefir is thought to have originated in the late 1800s. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unlike regular kefir, which is made from cow, sheep or goat milk, water kefir is made by combining sugar water with water kefir grains — a type of grain-like culture of bacteria and yeast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The mixture is then typically fermented for 24–48 hours, producing a probiotic beverage rich in beneficial bacteria.// ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How does it taste? If you ever had Cali, it tastes like that. A little fermented, but not overpowering. Not too sweet, and really pleasant. Maybe next time, i'll try to put pineapples. 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #2020leo366 #WaterKefir #Tibicos #CaliforniaBees #JapaneseWaterCrystals #WaterKefirBrewing #LearnSomethingNew #TrySomethingNew https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJ6QRkl9O3/?igshid=cmfrt5wzbai3
