Before you begin, we advise you to take a look at our instructions for fermentation to fully understand and take full advantage of this natural process.
-
Put the kefir grains in a jar Le Parfait Great and pour non-chlorinated water over it.
-
Add 3 tablespoons of sugar (white, brown, brown sugar, vergeoise, muscovado, but no sweeteners like stevia or aspartame), a dried fig, and 1 organic orange cut into thin slices (with the skin if organic).
-
Cover with gauze secured with an elastic band, and leave to ferment at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, until the fig rises to the surface.
-
When the fig is well assembled, remove the orange slices and the fig, pressing lightly to extract the juice.
-
Filter the preparation through a fine sieve to collect the grains of kefir and fermented juice.
-
Transfer the drink into a closed bottle like the lemonade Swing Top of 1 liter.
-
Leave to ferment for another 24 hours at room temperature for more fizz.
-
Then refrigerate and enjoy chilled. The older it ages, the more sparkling and acidic the drink becomes; it can be kept for several weeks.
Tip: If your water is chlorinated, let it sit in the open air in a carafe for 1 to 2 hours so that the chlorine evaporates.
