(in the recipes you can just dissolve the sugar into water by stirring until dissolved if you do not want to heat the water)

Step by step recipes:

For 1 to 2 cups of water kefir; (This is the recipe I personall use the most, the kids love it!)

• 1 QT jar
• 1 to 3 TBS Kefir grains
• 1 to 2 cups pure water
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 fig 2 dates or 10 raisins
• 1 to 2 TBS of lemon juice from concentrate or 1/4 of a fresh lemon cleaned & sliced w/skin on

1. Heat water slightly/simmer in a pan~Do not heat or boil the water kefir grains!
2. Add sugar stir until dissolved
3. Cool sugar water until cool to touch & pour into the jar,Only fill jars 3/4 full.
4. Add the lemon & dried fruit
5. Add the kefir grains 
6. Cover jar opening with plastic wrap & gently screw on the lid to the jar
7. Put in a dark cupboard or other spot out of direct sunlight.leave at room temp for 24 to 48 hours (68 to 86 degrees)
8. Strain out fruit & kefir grains from liquid,throw away or eat fruit.
9. Store the kefir water in fridge, drink as desired (yummy mixed with kombucha tea)
10. Go back to step (1) with grains.Or restart when ready by starting at step (1)

you can double or triple etc the recipe as needed, never fill the fermenting jar more than 3/4 full.

1 to 2 cups Sugar Kefir water:

1. Do the same as other recipe but do not add any juices, fruits or dried fruits.

In this recipe, if you add no fruit or juice, you will have sugar water with beneficial bacteria. It's not too tasty, But can be added to Juices or teas.

1 to 2 cups Vanilla soda water kefir:

1. Replace the Lemon juice/sliced lemon with 1 TBS of vanilla extract or add whole vanilla

Optional ingredients:

1. Fresh fruits with or instead of the lemon:raspberrys,pineapple,mangos,apricot,papaya or limes.
2. Instead of figs/dates/raisins:almost any dried fruit be creative mix it up.
3. Use 3/4 cup sugar water & 3/4 cup any real fruit juice such as Juicy Juice etc.
4. Fresh ginger instead of lemon, is also a great taste to add to make ginger water kefir.
