A not on homemade kefir: It won't look like store-bought kefir. The longer you let it ferment, the more rich in probiotics it will be, the lumpier and thicker it will get, and the more watery whey will sink to the bottom. It will also be more tart the longer you let it ferment because those good probiotics are eating away at the lactose (milk sugar), making it easier for your body to digest. This tartness is why we never drink it plain and alway use it in smoothies, dressings, or other recipes, but never by itself. But! It is way easier to to make than yogurt and it contains more strands of beneficial bacteria, so that's why I prefer kefir over yogurt.Katie Riddlehttp://www.riddlelove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-28128095900874362892012-02-19T12:07:37.342-08:002012-02-19T12:07:37.342-08:00made kefir for the first time and it never thickend up but did ferment. So I thought I would leave it longer then it turned into curds and whey,and was SOUR!!!! SO I thought well this isn't working. But I took that mix and made this recipe and oh my It is so good I don't want to share it haha. But I will since my goal is to get my son who has major allergies to everything in the air (LOL) healed and healthy. I am sure he is going to love this. Thanks again Katie you are such an inspiration to me to make so many things from scratch now. Ranch dressing is next.christie farrellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-40593673954430359442012-01-27T08:33:18.426-08:002012-01-27T08:33:18.426-08:00I like this combos!
