How to Make the Sweetest Homemade Milk Kefir even Sweeter! 

Can we acknowledge how she just effortlessly poured the liquid from the big saucepan into the bottle .

This is by far the most comprehensive information on milk kefir I have seen, excellent explanations on trouble shooting. Thank you for this video.

As a 5 year milk kefir maker, I love this video and it should be a must-watch for beginners and I also learned a few tips (shake before strain and 2nd ferment) from you that I'll try. I like to "over-ferment" like you did with lots of whey on the bottom before I strain it. I see most videos are scared of that but I prefer it that way. Great job & what a helpful kefir ambassador you are.

This is hands-down the most in-depth video I have seen on milk kefir. Many thanks to you. :)

Love this video. Very detailed. Thank you very much for all the information. I have just started making kefir. I hope I don’t poison myself and I can do justice. I hope to watch all your videos as they are soo helpful. So thank you again

This is a great video for beginners, thank you!

excellent instructions and demonstrations. I learned more than I ever have watching kefir makers. Have made quite a few batches in my day and your video improves my technique.

The best video I have seen on kefir - thank you for the clear explanations. I realise where I went wrong previously, producing kefir that smelled of exceptionally strong French cheese, that had to be thrown out, grains and all.

This is the best video I’ve seen.

Thanks Ma’am for sharing your good info.God bless you always:

Excellent!

Thank you for this thorough video.

Best video about kefir

Thank you so much for this video!❤❤❤

Thank you so much, that was so informative

Great in depth video... 😍 Loved it thank you 👍

I'm a beginner. And all the other videos kept me confused and still questioning. Thank you & Bless you for a perfect helpful tutorial. You mentioned a Persian drink, we drink fizzy doogh, so I'm now interested how similiar these two fermented drinks are made.

Wonderful video- thank you!!

9 years! Wow

What a lovely Video 😊. I want to try making my own Kefir and already read a few Things online. After watching this Video I feel ready to try it out. Happy I found your Channel, I already subscribed after watching this Video. 😊

Very good video, very helpful, thank you very much

I'm about to start making my own kefir, and have seen many videos, but I keep coming back to yours, as you explain it in such a clear and pleasant way 😀 Also a big plus.....you pronounce the word kefir how it should , unlike most others😀 Thank you so much for all the work making these kefir videos ! Greetings from Belgium ! 🥰

Thank you! I never thought of putting my kefir grains into smoothies. Don't know why didn't but I didn't.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for important knowledge

Such great Q and A.

Thank you for what you provide

the BEST video ever on Homemade Milk Kefir !! Applause from INDIA..!!

Thanks for answer’s & demonstrating how to rinse & strain. I’ve been making milk kefir for a few years now & have not rinsed them, so I will try this method. I add my kefir to a fruit smoothie with hemp bits & chia seeds & store a 1/2 gallon in the fridge. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

Thank you for your wonderful real food recipe Kefir grains wonderful from Australia

IV'E WATCHED AT LEAST 3 OTHER KEFIR VIDEOS. HERS PROVIDES THE MOST TIPS

Thank you very much, that is very informative.

Great information. Thank you

شما عال بینظیر توضیح دادید ممنون از وقت انرژی گذاشتید

I just wanted to thank you for this video. My milk kefir grains were not growing until I followed your advice. My kefir is delicious🥰

You are the best Kefir information

Great video thank you you make it so much easier to understand. I would love you to do a water kefir video please 🙏 💕

Nice video. Very helpful ❤❤❤yummy and healthy

Yummmm ❤️

Took a little time to adjust to the tangy effervescent kefir. Before long I found myself craving it. Very good video, thankyou

I have frozen them often with pretty good results.

FINALLY, someone on YT who pronounces 'kefir' correctly! Thank you for a great video!

Very informative thank u

چه لحجه قشنگی، مرسی از اطلاعات خیلی خوبتون🙏🏼

Excellent thank you!

I was pleasantly surprised with your video. Very well explained easy to understand. You took your time to explain the benefits of kefir. I am new at this and i eat it as a yogurt I still have to learn how to make it in a drinkable stage like they sell at the stores. I do add honey to my kefir yogurt but I am still not comfortable with adding any sugars to it yet (I’m afraid of losing any benefits it gives me) Thank you so much for your video!! ♥️

I love your very informative video. One of the things that I love the most is that you fill your jars by pouring straight from the big pot rather than ladling it in which would take forever. Drives me crazy when I see people in tutorial videos not pouring from the pot.

I just started my Kefir, thank you for your tip. I was missing the step of wash the grain with milk. I will try the second slow fermentation to thicken the kefir. Great video! Thank you!

I watched ur video a long time ago when i first started kefir. I kinda got overwhelmed a little so i froze the. Its been about a year now and i just got them out, broke a little chunk off and put it in milk. I'm totally shocked that within 24 hours it has turned my milk to a thick yogurt. Yayy, im so happy. They just multiply so fast, thats a good thing though, meaning they are healthy. Thanks for your video.

Wonderful thank you ❤

Thanks for your excellent explanation!Now I know that my kefir is going to be ok until I am back from vacation !

Because she is the one with roots from where Kefir started…❤

This is a lovely video

Thank you so much ❤

Thank you for pronouncing it correctly

What a wonderful video. You explain everything in such detail making it very easy to understand. Would you happen to be Persian? No offense you aren’t. You sound like a lovely lady.

Aggghhh. Milk bags brings back memories. This was in Alberta, Canada.

Thank you for such a wonderful and informative video. I am going to incorporate some of the tips you gave with my kefir. Mine is consistently sour and sometimes bitter. I live in Singapore and the kitchen is consistently 29 to 31c. Do you have any suggestions on the fermenting time line? Also, the advice given to me by our online seller was 5g of kefir to 250 ml milk. Is that too much milk? I have read from the comments that you advised a ratio of 30g kefir grains to 300 ml milk. Would appreciate your input.

Cheers Dear Thanks For Sharing.

Appreciated this Video so much. Very informative, and really helpful, thank you! Also may I ask, is the Kefir grain possible to mix with bad bacteria while fermenting? What’s gonna happened if we drink it and how do we know if the Kefir is contaminated?

Merci khanomi, I love your sweet Persian accent 💯💥💖🙏

What are the methods for making milk kefir sweet? I watched the video twice and still haven't figured it out. There is a lot of useful information here. Thank you!

You the best on you tube..❤

Thank you.

Technically, kefir is an anaerobic process. The bacteria and yeasts do not need air in order to ferment properly. I never use a coffee filter, but use a plastic lid on my kefir jar and it always turns out amazing. The reason you cover Kefir is so the bacteria and yeast in the air don't colonize your ferment and throw your kefir out of balance, thus creating a bad tasting product. Plus, you don't want impurities to get into the jar. The longer you ferment your kefir, the more sour it will taste and the thinner it becomes (but it also develops more probiotics - so it's a trade off). If Im planning on making kefir that is high in probiotics, and let it go on the counter top for 36 hours, I always strain the grains at 24 hours so they don't get impacted into the milk solids. Your kefir will continue to build probiotics without the grains since the milk is fully inoculated. If you leave the grains in the milk for the full 36 hours, they become impacted in the milk protein and difficult to separate. You can make your kefir more creamy by adding 3/4 portion whole milk to 1/4 portion heavy cream.I also stir my kefir grains once they've been put into fresh milk, to inoculate the milk evenly and clean the grains. Some people say this makes the milk kefir faster, but I've never found that to be the case. I find that my milk thickens more evenly when stirred. PS... I never wash my grains, and haven't had any problems with my kefir becoming more sour as a result. When you stir the grains into the fresh milk, it automatically washed the grains and all that good bacteria is evenly distributed into the milk for even fermentation.
