How to make Homemade Water Kefir with grains purchased from Cultures for Health. Also, how to take it a tasty step further to make a fizzy and delicious Water Kefir Soda.

Recipe (for previously activated grains):
Once your grains are activated per the company's instructions,
-melt 1/4c of sugar in 1/2c of hot water
-add 3 cups of cold water to the hot water sugar mix
-allow water to cool to room temperature
-add in activated grains and cover with a breathable fabric
-leave in a temperate location for 24-36 hrs or until the mixture is cloudy and smells a bit sweet and yeasty
-once fermented, strain out grains and save them to repeat the process
-drink the strained liquid as is, or add juice or flavoring to taste
-OR mix in 1/2c of juice to the liquid
-pour into a fermenting bottle
-rest in temperate location for an additional 24-36 hrs
* "burp" every 12 hours to release pressure and check level of fermentation
-soda is done when bubbles form and carbonation fizzes up the neck of the bottle
-pour a glass and enjoy!
**store fermented water kefir and/or soda in the refrigerator
