Filtered water, reverse osmosis water, or soft water or highly chlorinated water can actually inhibit growth or even lead to the kefir grains dying.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have how to brew water kefir using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make How to brew Water Kefir:
- Prepare 50-70 g Sugar of your choice (raw, refined, cane, coconuts etc) or 1 litre of fruit juice (no artificial sweeteners)

The first ferment is where you feed the water kefir grains a sugar water mixture. The grains consume the sugar and turn the water into a probiotic-rich liquid that's mildly carbonated. Water, sugar, WKG and time is all you need to make this tasty brew. Some people cover with a clean cloth and use a rubber band to hold it on or just use the jar's cover.
Steps to make How to brew Water Kefir:
- Wash all equipment, make sure all soap is completely rinsed off.
- Dissolve the sugar in water by stirring (heating not required)
- Place the Kefir grains and optional ingredients into your fermenting vessel and add the sugar water or fruit juice.
- Close lid or cover with cloth/ rubber band and leave to ferment for 24 to 48 hours in a warm, dark place. The warmer the environment the faster the process. Once fermented you will notice a change in smell and taste. It may not be fizzy yet, leaving it out for secondry fermentation will help add fizz.
- After fermentation remove any added ingredients and strain the kefir to speparate the grains.
- Pour the water Kefir grains into airtight bottles and add any additional flavouring and lave in a dark place for a further 24-72 hours for the second fermentation which will produce carbonation. Replace fruit with fresh every 24 hours until you get the desired carbonation. When ready, add ice and serve.
Water, sugar, WKG and time is all you need to make this tasty brew. Some people cover with a clean cloth and use a rubber band to hold it on or just use the jar's cover. I prefer to brew with an airlock as it lends a better taste, in my opinion. Just like kombucha, it can be bottled to increase carbonation, and flavored. Step Three: Strain the water kefir.
