Apples are rich in quercetin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory properties. In a study done in Crete, the study researchers found that people whose diets incorporated apples as a staple had greater protection against both allergies and asthma. This is a delicious and easy soda to make combining apples and ginger. Ginger has huge anti-inflammatory properties that can be of great help with a myriad of problems! You can make this soda in a couple of days and your kids will love it!

Instructions

  • Add the Kefir Soda Starter packet OR kefir whey to the juice in a glass bowl and stir until dissolved.
  • Juice your ginger using either a garlic press or a juicer.
  • Add ginger and apple juice to a 32-ounce bottle. (Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or Bormioli thick glass bottles. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.)
  • Fill the rest of the bottle with water leaving an inch of room at the top.
  • Allow it to ferment for 3-7 days or until bubbly and fizzy. If your home is 75°F or warmer it will usually take 3-4 days. Colder homes can take 5 days or longer, but you'll need to check it by popping the top and see if it's getting fizzy. It will start to bubble out the top if it does.
  • When it's done, you can pour into a glass and enjoy right away or place it in the fridge.  Keep it stored in the fridge or it will continue to ferment and get overly fizzy and hard to pour. Burp daily &  consume within 1-2 weeks for the best flavor and most benefits and the best flavor.
  • You can use ½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle.
    Add the other ingredients and ferment again. It should only take a half to a full day to ferment. It ferments faster on subsequent batches and you can make many bottles over and over again!
