Description
In this video, I’m sharing 10 tips for making great summer kefir. You’ll learn why kefir ferments faster in warm weather, how to use fewer grains or more milk, when to strain it sooner, how to keep it in a cooler spot, and what to do if your kefir tastes too sour or yeasty.
Kefir is a living food, and it has taught me so much. Once you understand how to care for it in every season, it becomes one of the easiest and most powerful cultured foods to keep in your kitchen.
