Waching daily Feb 1 2018

Hello everyone

I am Regine

Welcome one more day to my Channel

"Beautiful inside and outside"

Today I want to share with you the theme

"How to make water kefir at home"

Some time ago I posted a video about milk kefir

and I presented the most important benefits of kefir

Take a look

if you want to know more about the benefits of kefir for the body

Eating vital foods is fundamental to our health

I also mentioned that there were 3 types of kefir

One of these is water kefir

The properties are very similar

There is a story that says that Mother Teresa of Calcutta came to Tibet

in search of healing remedies

and he received the kefir from the monks there

And that's why the water kefir nodules are called tibia

and it is said that it is because of this story

Water kefir is a light drink

It is very relented and also diuretic

You can compare it with a kind of lemonade soda

but it contains a little bit of alcohol

Alcohol depends on the amount of air

that was present in the fermentation process

Water kefir needs sugar water for fermentation

Now we are going to the elaboration of the Kefir

we need

1 glass jar

we use more or less 3 tablespoons of Kefir nodules

the same amount of sugar as kefir

1 half lemon or 2 slices

it is possible that it is biological

because we're going to use it with the shell

2 dates or if you have, 1 dry fig

and 1 liter of water

Sugar should be unrefined brown sugar

You can use sugar with more or less molasses

it is according to your taste

and how many benefits you want to introduce in this drink

The water has to be chlorine-free

because chlorine kills all bacteria

also to our good

If you use tap water

use a filter that removes chlorine

or use bottled water

My bottle has the capacity of 1 liter and a half

That's why we use here 4 tablespoons of kefir nodules

and 4 tablespoons of sugar

We put the nodules in a glass jar

we add the sugar

the lemon slices

the dates

and fill the jar with the water

Do not fill it completely but leave a small space

the space of plus or minus 1 finger

we mix the sugar with the nodules

we lightly cover it

Water kefir is not as aggressive as milk kefir

you can cover it with the lid of the jar

if the lid is lined inside

I have already mentioned that water kefir contains some alcohol

The amount depends on the air inside the boat

and with this present in the fermentation

If you cover the bottle with lid

do not cover it tightly

but that there is not much air

So the fermentation produces more gas and less alcohol

If you let it ferment in the air

or you have a lot of air inside the boat

the content of alcohol will be higher

let it sit at room temperature for 48 hours

until the kefir has consumed all the sugar

you can already take the Kefir after 1 day

when there is still sugar

So you still have a sweet drink

If you take it kefir to maintain your health

you can do it perfectly

But if you have any cancer

suffer from candida or something similar

I recommend you to wait

until the kefir has consumed all the sugar

because these diseases feed on sugar

and we want to avoid feeding it

In any case

always consult your doctor or naturopath

before doing something

when there is a disease

Well, that

And if you wait more than 48 hours

the fermentation continues

and the kefir becomes a vinagrosa drink

To consume it we remove the lemon and the dates

and we put it through a filter

then you can bottle it and store it in the refrigerator to stop the fermentation

After filtering it we clean the jar

The nodules can also be washed after several uses

Well, this has been the traditional recipe

With these nodules you can ferment absolutely everything

that contains water and sugar

it also means fruit juices

But you have to keep in mind that it costs them more work

take out the fructose sugar

and that's why fermentation needs one more day

besides the nodules do not grow so well in this environment

that in the sugar environment

so it is convenient to go alternating the methods

to let them rest and to recover

But keeping this in mind

there are a lot of varieties

and you will have great joy with these nodules

A good variation is to ferment grape juice

You throw only nodules in juice

and wait 2 or 3 days

There will come out a kind of sangria

if you leave some sugar inside

or a young red wine

if you let ferment all the sugar

If you ferment another fruit juice

I recommend fermenting it 1 day only

Not for health

but a peach juice without sugar is not everyone's things

Later I will leave a recipe on my channel

to introduce more live foods in your day to day

Now, if you want to make some rest

or go on a trip

and you can not keep doing the procedure

you can leave it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

together with water and sugar without problems

For more time it would be better to wash the nodules

and freeze them in the freezer

Or they can also be dried or dehydrated

to save it in the amario

Dried nodules can be reactivated for up to 1 year

and frozen for at least half a year

To reactivate them you have to have a little patience

because they will not work directly

Until you see a normal attitude

It may take about 5 to 7 days

You throw the first liquid

and you continue with the normal procedure to consume it

And how to get kefir nodules?

Kefir is traditionally given from hand to hand

It is a very beautiful tradition

because it brings something in the universal concept

of "give and take" and also of sharing

On the internet you can find ads for people

who give away some of their nodules

And as kefir grows continuously

Within 2 weeks you can give something to you

in your environment

so that others can also benefit

of this so healthy probiotic drink
