Directions
- Pour the a2 Milk® Full Cream into a sterilised glass jar with a lid.
- Sprinkle the kefir starter culture over the milk. Whisk gently until the culture is fully dissolved.
- Seal the lid and leave at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, stir the kefir and taste. If you prefer a thicker, tangier kefir, leave to ferment for a further 4-8 hours.
- Once the kefir has reached your desired consistency and taste, transfer to a clean airtight glass container.
- Refrigerate before serving. The kefir will keep in the fridge for 7-10 days.
