Kefir is a type of fermented milk that may help manage blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and boost digestive health, among other benefits. However, more evidence is needed to back some of these claims. The name kefir comes from the Turkish word “keyif,” which refers to the “good feeling” a person gets after drinking it.
What is kefir made of?
Kefir is a fermented food or drink usually made from milk.
It's a bit like yogurt but with a more sour, tangy flavor. People have
been making kefir for thousands of years using a naturally occurring
collection of bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms called kefir
“grains.”
This drink is nutrient-dense and probiotic-rich. One glass of milk and a few kefir grains are all you need to make this probiotic drink.
Ingredients
- Milk: 1 glass
- Kefir grains, a few
Method
Add the rubbery & buttery-looking kefir grains to a glass of milk.
Cover and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
The milk will ferment and thicken.
Strain the mix and drink. The kefir can be reused indefinitely.
