Pomelo Water Kefir
A pomelo is closely related to a grapefruit. It has the sweetness of an orange and the tartness of a lemon. Pomelo's health benefits are many and include the ability to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, reduce cramping, reduce signs of premature aging, protect heart health, aid in weight loss, and boost oral and dental health. If you can't find pomelos, you can substitute grapefruit instead.
Servings: 16 ounces
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Pomelo juice about 1/2 a pomelo
- 14 ounces Basic Water Kefir
Instructions
- Use a citrus juicer or a high speed juicer to juice half of a pomelo (more if you are making larger batches).
- Add your pomelo juice to a 16-ounce bottle.(Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or Bormioli thick glass bottles. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.)
- Add 14 ounces of Basic Water Kefir to the bottle leaving a small amount of room (about 1 inch) at the top. Seal your bottle.
- Second Fermented Water Kefir only needs to sit 1-3 days or until it becomes bubbly. Check it often by opening it to see if it is bubbly. (Warmer homes take less time)
- Once ready, you can drink or refrigerate for storing. (Drink within 1 week for optimal flavor and benefits.)
- You can garnish your glass with mint and bits of pomelo!
Notes
Make sure you use good bottles made for brewing.
