Sunshine Water Kefir

I love the flavors in this Water Kefir, but the turmeric is the real hero. Turmeric is a huge anti-inflammatory agent and omega-3 booster. In addition, they are studying its possible role as an aid for prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. You can buy whole pieces of turmeric root in most grocery stores. Ask your grocery clerk - you've probably never noticed it.

Course: Beverages

Servings: ounces

Ingredients

2 tablespoons carrot juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon Turmeric Root Grated or Juiced
14 ounces Basic Water Kefir

Instructions

You can either juice the turmeric root in a juicer or you can use a garlic press to "grate" some of it.
Add all ingredients to a 16-ounce fermenting safe bottle.(Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or Bormioli thick glass bottles. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.) Seal the 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.)

Notes

If you can find a carrot/orange juice blend, you can use 1/4 cup of this mixture.
