Organic water kefir grains

The refreshing drink with a probiotic twist

Water kefir is a fermented drink made by feeding sugars to water kefir grains. These grains are a natural mix of bacteria and yeasts that transform the sugars into lactic acid, a touch of alcohol, natural carbonation and other beneficial compounds. The result? A lightly sparkling, slightly sweet drink with a crisp and refreshing taste.  

It’s a great alternative to kombucha, but without the tea and with a milder flavour. Water kefir is packed with probiotics that support your gut, aid digestion and help regulate cholesterol. It also gives your immune system a healthy boost. A real feel-good drink, in every sense.  

How to activate your water kefir grains

Each sachet contains 5 g of organic grains. Once activated, that becomes 6 g—enough to make about 600 ml of water kefir. With the right care, you can reuse them again and again. Here's how to activate them:  

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 300 ml of water and add the grains along with a pinch of baking soda.  

• Let the mixture ferment for two days at room temperature (20 to 24°C).  

• Pour off the liquid and replace with fresh sugar water.  

• Repeat this process about three times, until you notice signs of fermentation.  

• After the final rinse, refresh the sugar water one last time and your grains are ready to use.  

Sugar is food for the grains, so be sure to add enough. You can replace part of the white sugar with raw or brown sugar (for example, 25 g white and 5 g brown). A portion of mineral-rich sugar helps the grains wake up. Once they’re active, it’s perfectly fine to switch to just white sugar. If your grains seem limp or sluggish, they’ve likely absorbed enough minerals and need simpler sugars again.  

Make your own water kefir with activated grains

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 300 ml of filtered water. Avoid tap water with chlorine, as it can harm the probiotics.  

• Add the grains to the jar.  

• Cover the jar and let it ferment at room temperature for two days.  

• Strain the water kefir. Then add a squeeze of citrus juice, a few slices of fresh or dried fruit, or a blend of herbs to taste.  

Tips for successful DIY water kefir

• Active grains are key if you want good bubbles. If your kefir seems flat, check if the grains are still active—if not, feed them with fresh sugar water daily.  

• Don’t use too much water. The ideal ratio is 30 g of grains to 300 ml of sugar water.  

• Room temperature is important. If it’s too cold, the grains go dormant. In winter, fermentation may take up to four days.  

• Keep the lid closed during fermentation.  

• A second fermentation can boost the bubbles. It’s also the perfect moment to play with new flavours.  

Be patient—good things take time.
