So first you dump the entire container (1 liter) of coconut water into a glass jar. Make sure the coconut water and the jar are room temperature.
Next, add in the powder from two probiotic capsules
This could totally be in a photography gallery! I've never seen such a professional looking picture of pills.... |
Be sure that your probiotic capsules contain "lactobacillus acidophilus" bacteria.
Stir in the powder and screw on the jar lid tightly. Place in a warm environment for 1 1/2 - 2 days and make sure it's warm, I tried just putting it on the counter and it didn't work (I ended up putting it on a heat register with a towel over it to keep the heat in). You will know it's ready when it becomes significantly cloudy.
Store in the refrigerator and enjoy with meals to aid digestion and get a hefty dose of probiotics!
Drink up me hearty yo ho!.... |
The boxed coconut water is not as "fresh" so the kefir will be a more yellow-y colour (it was even yellow-ish in the beginning), but it's just as fizzy in my opinion! You'll know it's done when it tastes like beer and no longer contains the subtle sweetness coconut water is famous for.
