Kefir - info requested

[Kathleen]

My cultures are suppose to hydrate for 5 to 7 days, but they are already really reacting with milk! I strained them into a quart container and am letting them work on a quart of milk. The cup of kefir strained tastes very much like buttermilk. I've added a small spoonful of maple syrup and plan to have it with lunch tomorrow.

One day, the barely-hydrated kefir grains turned the milk into curds and whey before I even got home. Active! I see no sign of them growing though.

I completed my first quart of kefir today. It tastes much like cultured buttermilk and has about the same texture/consistency. For my first cup, I simply mixed it with a spoon of maple syrup. Tasty. I hope to hear of other ways to use it. With the probiotic benefit, I want it to be used around here!

It also has a small amount of alcohol. Wikipedia has an interesting article about it: Kefir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A girl who lives locally has water kefir. I may give it a try as well.
