Kefir Soda Starter by Cutting Edge Cultures

Featuring the Kefir Soda Starter by Cutting Edge Cultures! Make your own delicious, fizzy probiotic beverages flavored with fruit juice. Refreshing, vibrant, and exquisite!

Our newest product, Kefir Soda Starter, is now ready to ship. This is a fun starter culture, containing beneficial bacteria strains and yeasts to make a bubbly and healthy replacement for soda!

The strains and yeasts metabolize the natural sugar found in fruit juice or coconut water, resulting in a vegan effervescent drink that is loaded with probiotics.

This is the same format as our other Cutting Edge Starters, 4 sachets plus instructional insert per pouch.

One important note - this product produces strong carbonation (fizz) and will build up pressure in the bottles. You will need to use thick flip-top bottles made for brewing. These are available from a home-brewing store or Amazon.

Our Kefir Soda Starter contains beneficial bacteria strains and yeasts to help you make a fun, bubbly, and healthy replacement for soda!* The strains and yeasts metabolize the natural sugar found in fruit juice or coconut water, resulting in an effervescent drink that is loaded with probiotics.*

Depending on the temperature in your home, it usually takes 3 - 5 days of fermentation for the first batch to reach your desired level of fizz. You can use some of the resulting beverage as a starter for many subsequent batches. These will ferment more quickly, usually in about 1 - 2 days.

Add your choice of flavors and spices to the basic recipe to make a range of fizzy drinks, fit for any occasion!

Instructions for making Kefir Soda

Makes: One 32 oz bottle (about a quart) Time:

Preps: 5 minutes

Culturing: 2-5 days, depending on the ambient temperature

You'll need:

Ingredients:

1 sachet of Kefir Soda Starter

2 cups of fruit juice or coconut water (with the least additives possible)

Just under 2 cups of water, lightly filtered or spring (not fizzy)

Equipment:

One thick 32 oz flip-top bottle, made for brewing (not from a craft store)

A measuring cup with a spout for mixing the ingredients

A funnel

Important! This product creates strong carbonation!

* Use thick flip-top bottles made for brewing (not from a craft store)

* Remember to carefully 'burp' the bottle often (daily, as needed), to release pressure. Otherwise, you may end up with kefir soda on your ceiling!

Steps for Kefir Soda:

In a measuring cup with a spout, mix the starter with some of the juice/coconut water until completely dissolved.

Pour into a flip-top brewing bottle. A funnel will help.

Add the rest of the juice and water, leaving 2 inches of headspace. Secure the top.

Let ferment until well carbonated and tangy (about 3 days). In colder homes, fermentation might take 5 days or more. Important! Carefully burp the bottle often (daily, as needed) to release the pressure, then secure the top again.

When ready, place in the fridge to slow down the carbonation. You can enjoy the drink right away, but keep it stored in the fridge, and keep popping the top gently daily to release pressure, as needed. Consume within 1-2 weeks.

Note: Store the starter culture in the refrigerator or freezer until you're ready to use it.

Reculturing: For best results, reculture within 1 week. To make a new bottle, use 1/2 cup of kefir soda from your prepared kefir soda as a starter, 2 cups of juice or coconut water, and just under 1 1/2 cups of water. DO NOT ADD NEW STARTER FROM A SACHET. Mix the ingredients and ferment in a sealed brewing bottle on the counter for a day or two, depending on the ambient temperature. Carefully pop the top often to release pressure.

Shipping:

Shipping with UPS Ground is usually $1 for one Kefir Soda Starter. In stock and usually ships within one business day.
