Ingredients

• 200 grams Fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons Milk kefir grains
• 1 liter Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Start by making the kefir. In a clean glass jar, add the milk kefir grains.

Step 2

Step 2: Pour whole milk into the jar, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

Step 3

Step 3: Cover the jar with a cheesecloth secured with a rubber band to allow airflow while preventing contaminants.

Step 4

Step 4: Place the jar in a warm, dark place for 24 hours to ferment. The milk will thicken and may separate slightly as it ferments; this is normal.

Step 5

Step 5: Once fermentation is complete, strain the kefir to remove the grains. Set the grains aside for future use.

Step 6

Step 6: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 7

Step 7: In a blender, combine the strained kefir, strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Step 8: Taste the strawberry kefir and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

Step 9

Step 9: Pour the strawberry kefir into serving glasses and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
