HOW TO REHYDRATE WATER KEFIR
THIS PROCESS GENERALLY TAKES 4-5 DAYS
VIDEO
You will need:
- Sugar: 4-6 Tablespoons
- White sugar or brown sugar; do not use honey, agave, etc. to rehydrated water kefir grains
- Water (non-chlorinated)
- Well water or spring water is best due to higher mineral content .
- If using tap water, remove the chlorine prior to making water kefir by either boiling the water and allowing it to cool or by aerating the water using a blender.
- One glass jar(at least 1 ltre)
- One towel or paper coffee filter to use as a covering for the jar
- Optional: A fine mesh strainer (plastic or stainless steel) for removing the kefir grains from the finished kefir
Activating Dehydrated Water Kefir Grains:
Dissolve 4 to 6 tablespoons of sugar in 4 cups water (you will
likely need to heat the water so the sugar will dissolve). Be sure to allow the water to cool to room temperature before proceeding to the next step.
Place the dehydrated kefir grains in the water and cover with a towel or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.Allow the grains to sit in the sugared water for up to 48 hours and then change the sugared water (by sieving out the grains and restarting with new sugared water). Repeat this 3 times and the grains will become plump and the brew will start to smell a little vinegary and yeasty, when this happens the grains are ready to brew normally. The time it takes for the grains to fully rehydrate depends on the temperature they are kept at so do not worry if your grains hydrate slightly quicker or take slightly longer this is normal. Do not ever allow the mixture to sit for longer than 5 days.
Once the grains are rehydrated, follow the steps to make Water Kefir making instructions with Video Guide
We do not generally recommend drinking the sugar water used to rehydrate the kefir grains. Since the kefir grains spent their time rehydrating rather than consuming the sugar, the resulting solution will likely contain a large amount of sugar. Also, the sugar water may taste unplesant as part of the rehydration process is the yeast and bacteria which comprise the kefir grains rebalancing.
