I love making my own kefir at home and love seeing my kefir grains going to new homes too! There are so many delicious ways you can enjoy it, so time to get experimenting (especially if you’re not quite there with the taste yet… just like wine, you’ll come to love it)

How to use kefir
5 ways to use kefir:
1. Add to a smoothie or lassi with extra greens and fruits.
2. Make a creamy salad dressing.
3. Ferment your overnight oats – recipe in my book, link in my bio.
4. Freeze as homemade ice cream or lollies.
5. Swap in as a mixer for a refreshing summer cocktail. No one said gin was off the menu…
