Cooking Steps
Place the kefir grains in a clean glass jar.
Add the milk to the jar and stir gently to combine.
Cover the jar with a clean towel or coffee filter and secure with a rubber band.
Place the jar in a warm, dark place, like a cupboard or pantry, for 24-48 hours.
After 24-48 hours, the kefir should have thickened and have a slightly tangy taste.
Strain the kefir through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the kefir grains. Use a plastic or wooden spoon to gently push the kefir through the strainer.
Transfer the strained kefir to a clean glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use. The kefir will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Rinse the kefir grains with filtered water and store them in a clean glass jar with a little bit of milk until you are ready to make another batch.
