I watch my sugar, so I wait until the first ferment smells like vinegar, then I do not use the Kefir grains in the 2nd ferment, but in the 2nd ferment the micro Kefir grains that go through the strainer multiply and get larger during the 2nd ferment, and some are on the bottom of the 2nd ferment, even though it is in the fridge. I use ginger, lemons, limes, cranberries--lower in sugar in my 2nd ferment. Today, I added raw carrots that I put in a blender--way to go for the vitamin A, added that to my water Kefir after it was done. I realized that I did not have enough vitamin A in my diet, so this was a good option, tastes really great. I also use stevia to sweeten sometimes. I love this water Kefir drink, and I do not drink soda anymore since water Kefir is healthier. I use a lot of organic garlic and organic onion also in the first ferment, it does not smell after the first ferment and there is no garlic/onion taste after the 2nd ferment, but ginger, garlic and onions are probiotics boosters, so I use them. Thanks to the many videos on water Kefir for helpful ideas.
I put a TINY bit of Redmonds salt in my batch. Like 1/32 of a tsp. It was recommended by one set of grains I bot. It really helps the grains to ferment faster, they seem healthier. Adding a pinch of brown sugar or molasses helps fortify the grains too. Mine only take 1day to ferment, i kno wen its ready by the bubbles wen I bump the jar. I add 1/8 cup pure grape juice to my kefir water for the 2nd ferment. In 2 days I have the yummiest grape soda. Water Kefir heals sick kidneys. My DIL was in the hosp with kidney failure & they told her she needs to start making water Kefir.
Best I’ve seen 👍😊 everything is explained in detail. I’d really like to see this lady doing a second ferment with different flavours as I’m sure she’d be great at explaining the different methods.
I planned to add combucha to my wholesale list and then I found your water kifer tutorial. The Lord is nurturing an interest in home-made beverages that support gut health - a timely opportunity to learn. Thank you.
Love love love this video and all of the videos on your channel for that matter! I am learning so much from you. Love being able to learn about traditional methods! We are also in Central Texas 🥰 Thank you for all that you do!!
Hello Mary 😄 This Labor Day weekend 2020 has been a marathon of your videos ❤️ I have learned soooo much! Thank You for all of your efforts in making your CZcams videos 😘👏🏻🤩👍🏻 Blessings from Green, Ohio ❤️
Thank you so much for your clear instructions!!! You have the most pleasant voice and I appreciate the time you take to explain everything in detail!!!
Thank you for sharing yourself and knowledge with us. You are delightful! I really appreciate all the extra little details you add in your explanations.
Thank you for the thorough explanation of the processes involved in this video and all your others. Many fermentation videos I have watched on YT are lacking complete information and leave a newby like me with unanswered questions.
I have been binge watching you today. I'd never even heard of kefir before today let alone kefer water. I've already ordered some grains. You have certainly educated me. Thankyou ♥️ so much. You are so knowledgeable and a great teacher

Mary, you exude charisma and warmth and I love your step by step, easily followed, guidance. Thank you so much. Watching I feel like I’m a visitor to your home which,being elderly, relieves the loneliness I feel these days. I look forward to trying. Your water kefir method. I’m blessed in that our water supply is from an artesian well and I’ve never tasted water as lovely. We have it tested regularly and fortunately no issues have been detected. Luckily, living in ‘The Emerald Isle’, noted for its abundance of rain, we have no fear of our well running dry.😀 God Bless you and continued success in your work.
In the U.K. it’s called golden granulated sugar I’ve been wanting to try water kefir for a while might give this a go I tasted milk kefir recently and liked that so will have to make that too thanks Mary
I just tried keifer(strawberry flavored) last night and took a liking to it. I am looking forward to making my own using your recipes. I will pick up some kombucha the next time I am at Aldis and try that.
Thank you for your video. I have to admit drinking kafir and eating fermented vegetables, sauerkraut etc, helps me feel full instead of the constant feeling of hunger. However in this case I have taken a short cut! I bought a 250 ml bottle of kefir youghrt drink from the supermarket, I drank half but kept on topping it up with organic milk and letting stand for couple of hours! It seems to work!
Love your videos. U explain so good and in details too. I find your voice so soothing that I keep falling asleep than wake up rewind and watch again😊. Love your kitchen 💞
Mary's Nest to the rescue! I searched YT for water kefir & *every* video I found didn't explain what it was, what was needed, what are the kefir grains, what kefir grains to buy (milk vs water), why kefir "multiplies" etc. All the other videos assume the viewer knows about water kefir and titles of the videos "say" a step by step guide. Sadly, they aren't & left me soooo confused! Then I see your video and I know I'm going to get all the info I need! Why I didn't just start with searching your video idk but lesson learned & will check your channel first from now on. Just wanted to say *THANK YOU* & to let you know that you are an invaluable resource that I love. ❤️
Dear Mary, greetings from sunny Singapore! First off, I’ve been enjoying your channel, I like your no-fuss, practical and sensiblenapproach to tackling tasks, please, keep up the good work! I’d like to share something I’ve tried with the water kefir: I love oat groats for breakfast, I usually soak a batch (2 cups, enough for about a week) overnight, sometimes longer, and pressure cook them for 45 minutes, and keep them in the fridge. After I have my breakfast, I’ll take a portion, mix it with fruit, steamed sweet potato (whatever I have at hand) top them up with milk kefir, and ferment this (with a fermenting lid, an ordinary lid would do too, as it doesn’t produce that much CO2) for a few hours., then keep it in the fridge overnight for my next day’s breakfast. The last batch I tried something a bit more elaborate: after the initial soaking, and before the cooking, I fermented the oat groats in water kefir (without the kefir grains, just with the finished 1st-ferment kefir) for about 24 hours. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fermenting oats have developed a wonderful, yeasty scent, much like proofing bread dough does. I proceeded to pressure cook this batch for 45 minutes (with natural release of 15 minutes, it took 1 hour) stirred in some chia seeds to soak up the residual water and I am very pleased with the result. The oats are softer, but still chewy, with a wonderful, complex flavour, and the yeasty bread aroma survived the pressure cooking too. I am going to continue preparing my oat groats this way from now on. I must say, there’s a night and day difference between these and the store bought rolled oats!
Hi Mary, I just recently started watching your videos and enjoy them so very much! I recently retired and had planned to come to my daughter’s home in Leander to help out with her and her three year old and one year old, until Covid hit. So unfortunately I’ve not made it back down there. In the meantime, I feel a bit closer to them by watching you, knowing you are in Texas. Thanks so much for all of the great helpful information you share! God bless you! Loretta from Michigan 🥰
I have been watching your videos for about 3 weeks have tried both water Keifer and milk Keifer, really like them both wish I had known of them sooner, but learning so much from your videos. I too live in Central Texas, I live in the small city of Clifton, Texas maybe we are near by neighbors. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos to teach others!!!
Hi Glenda and fellow Texan!! Glad to “meet” you!! I’m farther south between Austin and San Antonio in the Hill Country but for Texas that’s close...LOL!! Love, Marg
Wow what an awesome teacher you are. Thank you for sharing. Today I came across your channel by accident.... how lucky am I?. I’m looking forward to doing this tomorrow. I have everything but organic sugar. I’ll let you know how it goes.
That was wonderful, thank you Mary! I will order some kefir, and try this next. I just make some kombucha and tepache, a Mexican fermented drink made with fresh pineapple peel, and more like a pineapple beer....
Thanks again! During the fermenting process a slice of biological lemon even will improve the taste and the health of the waterkefir. Waterkefir grains enjoy a 'sour' environment to grow and live in.
Hi Mary. I just found your channel, subscribed to it and I am now bing watching your videos. I guess someone may have already mentioned this. Fluoride is supposed to affect brain activity very negatively according to some studies related to that what it is assumed to be the function of the pineal gland. On the whole, even without the kefir, I believe we would also profit from drinking water without chlorine and without fluoride. I am now excited to learn from you about kefir. Best regards, Lior
Mary thank you for your informative videos. My name is Diane and I am a SCOBY killer. Killing my kombucha SCOBY really shook my confidence! I found a packet of dehydrated water kefir grains in the back of my refrigerator (they probably hid due to concern over their fate, lol!) and just started the rehydration process. So far, my milk kefir grains are thriving and producing and excellent beverage. . .maybe they will be able to cheer on the water grains. :)
Diane Howe - Hi Diane, sounds like you are rebuilding your confidence! I’m going to be doing some upcoming videos on kombucha so hopefully we can restore your confidence in that too! I also need to find a video from one of my friends who has a video called kombucha for procrastinators. She’s so funny… She forgot about her Scoby and thought she killed it!! And then months later tried to make kombucha. She was actually successful! I’ll see if I can find it. We’ll work through kombucha together!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

Thank you Mary.. Cultures for health is a very great learning site. I have been make Kefir for a very long time now... when we were somewhere, I took a sip of soda.. and it was awful. tasted so chemically. And that will most probably be my last sip.. It is hard to beat healthy drinking.. Nicely done video. Thank you.
Several years ago I would make water kefir alot. I had a tick bite and within 3 days had developed a bullseye mark. So the doc gave me some antibiotics and I had no problems after that. But I believe that because I kept up with the probiotic that it helped my body reject anything bad. I quit because I believe I was just turning sucrose into fructose and (having quit all sugar) I needed to stop the water kefir. I'll try it again cause I got rid of my pre-diabetes but I will monitor my blood sugars.
For about 2 years I have used the same grains and love to make this. One difference is that another company recommends about 12 raisens or avout a 1/2 T of molasses to add in goominerals. What do you think Mary? I want to add that you are my side kick during all of my fermenting discoveries. Your videos are so very informative and clear. Thank you so much!
in france, we use to put a dehydrated fig or abricots and 2 slices of lemon into the first fermentation and then take all out and do the second fermentation ( and adding fruits or juices ....... )
Hello, and thank you for posting such detailed and nuanced teaching videos! Good job! I was wondering if, at the second fermentation, I can add grated ginger for 24 to 48 hours. Thanks and GOD Bless!
Thank you so much because that’s what I wanted to know was how to add the fruit so you just add the fruit after You strain it and you put the fruit in and you leave it in for 24 to 48 hours that’s wonderful I need to try that with ginger and with fruit thank you I know you do the ginger bug but do you use kefir kernels for that too
@Mary's Nest I love your channel, you remind me of Julia Child's cooking show, I used to watch her growing up as a child, but you are an Updated Version, (compliment of course) and you make me giggle with you, so delightful! I'm learning a lot watching you teach. Thank you. Grateful 😊 🌞

Hi Mary, I use the same company for kefir and more as you show here. Sounds as if they have changed the grains, does it taste the same as some years ago? My best one so far is Cherry Vanilla. I use real 100% cherry juice from Trader Joe's (no other juice in it) and vanilla extract, do a 24 hour 1st ferment , add flavor and do another 24 hr. 2nd ferment. The cherry juice can be sour and this makes it a bit sweeter. Thank you for your time.
Ann Hopy - Hi Ann, I’m not sure if they have changed the grains or not. I bough those a year and a half ago to make this video. My original grains that I use to make my kefir are about 20 years old! Can you believe it??? They were “live” and not dehydrated. I got them from a woman in New Mexico long before kefir became mainstream! LOL!! Your cherry version sounds fabulous!! Love, Mary
nmoss m - So glad you liked it!! And I’m glad you’re here!! If you are interested, search my videos… I have lots of them focused on making all sorts of traditional foods… Including bone broths, ferments, sourdough starter and sourdough bread, and how to soak and sprout grains so that you can make sprouted flour at home. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am so happy to help! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I’ll just have a large ice water and take my probiotic. I don’t have the patience. 🤗. You did a spectacular job showing how to make it! God bless those who have patience.
Ann Marie - Hi Ann Marie, LOL!! But thank you for the kind words!! If you ever decide to make a homemade probiotic, the good news is that it is a lot less expensive than what you buy in pill form plus...one teaspoon of the liquid is considerably higher in beneficial probiotics than most pills. Thanks for visiting. Love, Mary🤗
I think fermenting vegetables or drinks like kombucha is like having another houseplant or pet! I have a lot of appreciation for these living things that give us so much! It’s fun to have something fizzing away on the shelf, and in the fridge later!
I like to add a slice of ginger and one sliced up green apple with the sweetened water. We like to eat the apple slices after 24 hours. The grains also activate much faster.
Hey Cheryl, I appreciate your comment about adding a slice of ginger & 1 green apple slices up. Do you add these during the 2nd ferment? I'm really interested. Thanks, Rebecca
@@rebeccafreeman1123 I don’t do a second ferment unless it is with water kefir that has been dried and needs reactivated. I add water and molasses to the dried grains to help reactivate.
The lady is sooo good at explaining..so clear..not redundant.

I agree. She’s wonderful

Thank you so much!! 🤗
I watch my sugar, so I wait until the first ferment smells like vinegar, then I do not use the Kefir grains in the 2nd ferment, but in the 2nd ferment the micro Kefir grains that go through the strainer multiply and get larger during the 2nd ferment, and some are on the bottom of the 2nd ferment, even though it is in the fridge. I use ginger, lemons, limes, cranberries--lower in sugar in my 2nd ferment. Today, I added raw carrots that I put in a blender--way to go for the vitamin A, added that to my water Kefir after it was done. I realized that I did not have enough vitamin A in my diet, so this was a good option, tastes really great. I also use stevia to sweeten sometimes. I love this water Kefir drink, and I do not drink soda anymore since water Kefir is healthier. I use a lot of organic garlic and organic onion also in the first ferment, it does not smell after the first ferment and there is no garlic/onion taste after the 2nd ferment, but ginger, garlic and onions are probiotics boosters, so I use them. Thanks to the many videos on water Kefir for helpful ideas.
I put a TINY bit of Redmonds salt in my batch. Like 1/32 of a tsp. It was recommended by one set of grains I bot. It really helps the grains to ferment faster, they seem healthier. Adding a pinch of brown sugar or molasses helps fortify the grains too. Mine only take 1day to ferment, i kno wen its ready by the bubbles wen I bump the jar. I add 1/8 cup pure grape juice to my kefir water for the 2nd ferment. In 2 days I have the yummiest grape soda. Water Kefir heals sick kidneys. My DIL was in the hosp with kidney failure & they told her she needs to start making water Kefir.
Best I’ve seen 👍😊 everything is explained in detail.
I’d really like to see this lady doing a second ferment with different flavours as I’m sure she’d be great at explaining the different methods.
Your demeanor is so encouraging, and your videos have the perfect amount of detail. Thank you!
I planned to add combucha to my wholesale list and then I found your water kifer tutorial. The Lord is nurturing an interest in home-made beverages that support gut health - a timely opportunity to learn. Thank you.

Mary, you exude charisma and warmth and I love your step by step, easily followed, guidance. Thank you so much. Watching I feel like I’m a visitor to your home which,being elderly, relieves the loneliness I feel these days. I look forward to trying. Your water kefir method. I’m blessed in that our water supply is from an artesian well and I’ve never tasted water as lovely. We have it tested regularly and fortunately no issues have been detected. Luckily, living in ‘The Emerald Isle’, noted for its abundance of rain, we have no fear of our well running dry.😀
God Bless you and continued success in your work.
Hi Mary, my name is Sharon, I’ve learned so much from you. May God keep you in his tender care.
She is a wonderful teacher
In the U.K. it’s called golden granulated sugar I’ve been wanting to try water kefir for a while might give this a go I tasted milk kefir recently and liked that so will have to make that too thanks Mary

Thank you for such an in depth guide to making water kefir. Excellent. ❤
Mary, this was a great tutorial and interesting to me! Thanks for sharing it. Hugs, Judy
Hi Judy!! Thanks so much for visiting and glad to here that the tutorial was interesting!! Love, Mary
I just tried keifer(strawberry flavored) last night and took a liking to it. I am looking forward to making my own using your recipes. I will pick up some kombucha the next time I am at Aldis and try that.
Thank you for your video. I have to admit drinking kafir and eating fermented vegetables, sauerkraut etc, helps me feel full instead of the constant feeling of hunger.
However in this case I have taken a short cut! I bought a 250 ml bottle of kefir youghrt drink from the supermarket, I drank half but kept on topping it up with organic milk and letting stand for couple of hours! It seems to work!
Loved this video, so clear and complete. Mary I loved your explanations and the kindness of your voice. Thank you!
Love your videos. U explain so good and in details too. I find your voice so soothing that I keep falling asleep than wake up rewind and watch again😊. Love your kitchen 💞
Great explanation with soft speaking, I am new to the Kefir and I am now trying to do this first time.
Excellent, clear presentation. Perfect for beginners.
Thank you Mary💖
I'm excited to try making this. My kefir grains are on the way!
Mary's Nest to the rescue! I searched YT for water kefir & *every* video I found didn't explain what it was, what was needed, what are the kefir grains, what kefir grains to buy (milk vs water), why kefir "multiplies" etc. All the other videos assume the viewer knows about water kefir and titles of the videos "say" a step by step guide. Sadly, they aren't & left me soooo confused! Then I see your video and I know I'm going to get all the info I need! Why I didn't just start with searching your video idk but lesson learned & will check your channel first from now on. Just wanted to say *THANK YOU* & to let you know that you are an invaluable resource that I love. ❤️
Looking forward to trying this water kefir. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Great video.
Thank you Mary for the very informative video!! I have some Kefir grains on order and am looking forward to giving this a try!
Well explained thank you so much ♥️
Dear Mary, greetings from sunny Singapore!
First off, I’ve been enjoying your channel, I like your no-fuss, practical and sensiblenapproach to tackling tasks, please, keep up the good work!
I’d like to share something I’ve tried with the water kefir:
I love oat groats for breakfast, I usually soak a batch (2 cups, enough for about a week) overnight, sometimes longer, and pressure cook them for 45 minutes, and keep them in the fridge.
After I have my breakfast, I’ll take a portion, mix it with fruit, steamed sweet potato (whatever I have at hand) top them up with milk kefir, and ferment this (with a fermenting lid, an ordinary lid would do too, as it doesn’t produce that much CO2) for a few hours., then keep it in the fridge overnight for my next day’s breakfast.
The last batch I tried something a bit more elaborate: after the initial soaking, and before the cooking, I fermented the oat groats in water kefir (without the kefir grains, just with the finished 1st-ferment kefir) for about 24 hours.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fermenting oats have developed a wonderful, yeasty scent, much like proofing bread dough does. I proceeded to pressure cook this batch for 45 minutes (with natural release of 15 minutes, it took 1 hour) stirred in some chia seeds to soak up the residual water and I am very pleased with the result.
The oats are softer, but still chewy, with a wonderful, complex flavour, and the yeasty bread aroma survived the pressure cooking too.
I am going to continue preparing my oat groats this way from now on.
I must say, there’s a night and day difference between these and the store bought rolled oats!
Ma'am said bifocals and I was sold! God bless & keep you. We young women need help with homemaking! 🙌🏼
Your videos are the best. Thanks.
I do enjoy your videos.thank you v er y much
Hi Mary, I just recently started watching your videos and enjoy them so very much! I recently retired and had planned to come to my daughter’s home in Leander to help out with her and her three year old and one year old, until Covid hit. So unfortunately I’ve not made it back down there. In the meantime, I feel a bit closer to them by watching you, knowing you are in Texas. Thanks so much for all of the great helpful information you share! God bless you! Loretta from Michigan 🥰
Oh Loretta, thank you for the kind words! Hope all of this will be behind us soon and you’ll be able to get to Texas! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I got live grains off of etsy. Super cheap and wonderful instructions came with, plus contact information for support from the vendor.
I have been watching your videos for about 3 weeks have tried both water Keifer and milk Keifer, really like them both wish I had known of them sooner, but learning so much from your videos. I too live in Central Texas, I live in the small city of Clifton, Texas maybe we are near by neighbors. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos to teach others!!!
Hi Glenda and fellow Texan!! Glad to “meet” you!! I’m farther south between Austin and San Antonio in the Hill Country but for Texas that’s close...LOL!! Love, Marg
I just found your channel and love it! Thanks for the video.
Wow what an awesome teacher you are. Thank you for sharing. Today I came across your channel by accident.... how lucky am I?.
I’m looking forward to doing this tomorrow. I have everything but organic sugar. I’ll let you know how it goes.
This lady is soooo sweet
I bet she's real bitchy off-line.
cxoot *what? A douchebag like you? Why don’t you go and take your grudges elsewhere! Get thee behind me!*
Excellent demonstration. Very through. I enjoy your videos and as a Kombucha fan I do have to try the Water Kefir. Thanks for this.
Thank you SO much!! Oh yes, give it a try...I love water kefir! It's so tasty!! Love, Mary
Thank you for your video. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Dear Mary it is so delightful to watch all your videos🥰😍❤
Thank you
Absolutely loved this video! Superb explanation. I’ve just covered this too, so was interesting
That was wonderful, thank you Mary! I will order some kefir, and try this next. I just make some kombucha and tepache, a Mexican fermented drink made with fresh pineapple peel, and more like a pineapple beer....
Nice and healthy.
Very interesting, thanks 😊
Thanks again! During the fermenting process a slice of biological lemon even will improve the taste and the health of the waterkefir. Waterkefir grains enjoy a 'sour' environment to grow and live in.
Didn't know this - thank you!
I use the canning band on it works great for me
Hi Mary. I just found your channel, subscribed to it and I am now bing watching your videos.
I guess someone may have already mentioned this. Fluoride is supposed to affect brain activity very negatively according to some studies related to that what it is assumed to be the function of the pineal gland.
On the whole, even without the kefir, I believe we would also profit from drinking water without chlorine and without fluoride.
I am now excited to learn from you about kefir. Best regards, Lior
You are the best 👌
You are absolutely wonderful . I wish I could spend some time in the kitchen with you. I know I'd learn a lot. Wonderful videos🙏🏻💜🇨🇦
Mary thank you for your informative videos. My name is Diane and I am a SCOBY killer. Killing my kombucha SCOBY really shook my confidence! I found a packet of dehydrated water kefir grains in the back of my refrigerator (they probably hid due to concern over their fate, lol!) and just started the rehydration process. So far, my milk kefir grains are thriving and producing and excellent beverage. . .maybe they will be able to cheer on the water grains. :)
Diane Howe - Hi Diane, sounds like you are rebuilding your confidence! I’m going to be doing some upcoming videos on kombucha so hopefully we can restore your confidence in that too! I also need to find a video from one of my friends who has a video called kombucha for procrastinators. She’s so funny… She forgot about her Scoby and thought she killed it!! And then months later tried to make kombucha. She was actually successful! I’ll see if I can find it. We’ll work through kombucha together!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thanks for giving me my first laugh of the day! ♥️
Wow, This is the best explanation video I found. Now I can confidently do it. I subscribed also. Thank you so much.

Love your videos. Soaking it all up. I can't afford to buy all those pricey probiotics. This sounds exciting. I loooove your beet kvass!!
Mary, I live in Tucson, Az and wish you were my neighbor. Your one smart woman. I try to use as much organic foods/ingredients as I can. I appreciate the knowledge your passing on. Thanks so much.
Sally Semrau - Hi Sally... what a nice thing to say! I wish we were neighbors too… That would be a lot of fun! I am so happy to share whatever I know. If you ever have any questions please let me know. I’m always so happy to help. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Beautiful video
Thank you Mary.. Cultures for health is a very great learning site. I have been make Kefir for a very long time now... when we were somewhere, I took a sip of soda.. and it was awful. tasted so chemically. And that will most probably be my last sip.. It is hard to beat healthy drinking.. Nicely done video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! And yes, soda tastes bad after drinking more naturally made beverages!! Now that's a good thing!! Love, Mary
Wonderful 😊
I do declare this Texan sounds like she has a New York accent. Love it.
Several years ago I would make water kefir alot. I had a tick bite and within 3 days had developed a bullseye mark. So the doc gave me some antibiotics and I had no problems after that. But I believe that because I kept up with the probiotic that it helped my body reject anything bad.
I quit because I believe I was just turning sucrose into fructose and (having quit all sugar) I needed to stop the water kefir. I'll try it again cause I got rid of my pre-diabetes but I will monitor my blood sugars.
For about 2 years I have used the same grains and love to make this. One difference is that another company recommends about 12 raisens or avout a 1/2 T of molasses to add in goominerals. What do you think Mary? I want to add that you are my side kick during all of my fermenting discoveries. Your videos are so very informative and clear. Thank you so much!
Learned Something New Today However I No Longer Use Cane Sugar But Very Interesting to Learn n Know👍
in france, we use to put a dehydrated fig or abricots and 2 slices of lemon into the first fermentation and then take all out and do the second fermentation ( and adding fruits or juices ....... )
Hello, and thank you for posting such detailed and nuanced teaching videos! Good job! I was wondering if, at the second fermentation, I can add grated ginger for 24 to 48 hours. Thanks and GOD Bless!
Thank you so much because that’s what I wanted to know was how to add the fruit so you just add the fruit after You strain it and you put the fruit in and you leave it in for 24 to 48 hours that’s wonderful I need to try that with ginger and with fruit thank you I know you do the ginger bug but do you use kefir kernels for that too
@Mary's Nest I love your channel, you remind me of Julia Child's cooking show, I used to watch her growing up as a child, but you are an Updated Version, (compliment of course) and you make me giggle with you, so delightful! I'm learning a lot watching you teach. Thank you. Grateful 😊 🌞

Hi Mary, I use the same company for kefir and more as you show here. Sounds as if they have changed the grains, does it taste the same as some years ago? My best one so far is Cherry Vanilla. I use real 100% cherry juice from Trader Joe's (no other juice in it) and vanilla extract, do a 24 hour 1st ferment , add flavor and do another 24 hr. 2nd ferment. The cherry juice can be sour and this makes it a bit sweeter. Thank you for your time.
Ann Hopy - Hi Ann, I’m not sure if they have changed the grains or not. I bough those a year and a half ago to make this video. My original grains that I use to make my kefir are about 20 years old! Can you believe it??? They were “live” and not dehydrated. I got them from a woman in New Mexico long before kefir became mainstream! LOL!! Your cherry version sounds fabulous!! Love, Mary

Mandarin orange peel is great for flavoring water kefir!
Thank you for working so hard on making water kefir. It’s good for those avoiding dairy products.
nmoss m - So glad you liked it!! And I’m glad you’re here!! If you are interested, search my videos… I have lots of them focused on making all sorts of traditional foods… Including bone broths, ferments, sourdough starter and sourdough bread, and how to soak and sprout grains so that you can make sprouted flour at home. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am so happy to help! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Mary's Nest ooh I’m looking forward to making sprouted bread. Again, thank you so much for you being you!
nmoss m - You are SO welcome. Are there any videos you would like me to make? 😀😀😀
I’ll just have a large ice water and take my probiotic. I don’t have the patience. 🤗. You did a spectacular job showing how to make it! God bless those who have patience.
Ann Marie - Hi Ann Marie, LOL!! But thank you for the kind words!! If you ever decide to make a homemade probiotic, the good news is that it is a lot less expensive than what you buy in pill form plus...one teaspoon of the liquid is considerably higher in beneficial probiotics than most pills. Thanks for visiting. Love, Mary🤗
I think fermenting vegetables or drinks like kombucha is like having another houseplant or pet! I have a lot of appreciation for these living things that give us so much! It’s fun to have something fizzing away on the shelf, and in the fridge later!
I like to add a slice of ginger and one sliced up green apple with the sweetened water. We like to eat the apple slices after 24 hours. The grains also activate much faster.
Hey Cheryl, I appreciate your comment about adding a slice of ginger & 1 green apple slices up. Do you add these during the 2nd ferment? I'm really interested. Thanks, Rebecca
@@rebeccafreeman1123 I don’t do a second ferment unless it is with water kefir that has been dried and needs reactivated. I add water and molasses to the dried grains to help reactivate.
