It is of creamy consistency, but can also have acid milk aspect, very nutritious for intestinal health.

Ingredients:

  • The benefits of eating Artichokes
    MORE IN BIOMANANTIAL
    The benefits of eating Artichokes
  • ¾ l. of milk
  • 150 g. of kefir nodules
  • 1 glass of 1 liter

Note: For the first time to make the kefir, you need a big spoonful of nodules and quarter liter of milk. When nodules are slowly growing, add more milk. Ratios also depend on whether we prefer to be more clear or more thick.

Preparation:

  1. We put the milk, at room temperature in the container. Add nodules kefir, cover and let it stand.
  2. Strain kefir nodules. The kefir will have an astringent effect if we strain past 36 hours and gently laxative if we train past 24 hours.
  3. Once strained, reintroduce into the milk.

Preservation of kefir:

  • The nodule should be washed with water and the container once a week.
  • We need to protect from excessive heat or cold.
  • To make the slow fermentation process, if we take a few days, we can put it in the fridge. If we are going to be more than a week without taking it, we can conserve water and nodules in the refrigerator.
  • It should be borne in mind that: The tools we use to prepare kefir (a pot and a strainer), better should not be of aluminum because the material is not stable in medium acid, as in the kefir, and could transfer harmful particles.
  • The kefir, brings the benefits of milk without hinder the digestive process. Regenerates the intestinal flora and has antibiotic and antiviral effect. In external use is a powerful antiseptic that helps heal wounds.
