Kefir Making

public - created 01/04/05
Kefir (alternately kephir, kewra, talai, mudu kekiya, matsoun, matsoni) is a fermented milk drink originating in the Caucasus.

Kefir grains are a combination of probiotic bacteria and yeasts in a matrix of proteins, lipids and sugars. They are grown in milk (most commonly cow or goat milk) for a day or more at room temperature. The resulting beverage is called kefir. It is a faintly fizzy and slightly alcoholic drink, similar to yoghurt.

This tribe is for those interested in making Kefir at home to promote their general health and well-being.
