COCONUT MILK KEFIR



Coconut Milk Kefir image

I've been experimenting with kefirs and wanted to make a non-dairy one for a friend who is lactose intolerant. (Kefir is nearly lactose-free, and some lactose-intolerant people can use it in modest quantities). I did a little research, found a lot of inconsistent and conflicting information. So I just plunged ahead and was very happy with the results. I've only used it for smoothies, but I think it would also make great pancakes or fruity type quick breads.

Time 12h5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk (I used regular) or 2 cups coconut milk
1 -2 tablespoon milk kefir grains (estimated, I used one large clump of grains)

Steps:

  • I used canned coconut milk which resulted in a slightly coconut flavored kefir. I understand you can use the coconut milk that comes in the dairy case in 1/2 gallon containers and that kefir made from it does not have a coconut flavor - I have not tried this yet.
  • Be sure that you use a glass jar or plastic container and non-metal spatulas or spoons.
  • If you are using kefir grains that have been kept in milk, rinse them with non-chlorinated water to remove milk residue. You do not need to do this if you are not sensitive to lactose.
  • Shake the can of milk to combine the cream with the milk, then open and pour into the jar.
  • Add the kefir grains to the jar. Cover with a clean cloth or coffee filter or something similar, and leave on a counter away from direct sunlight or in a cupboard.
  • Coconut milk turns into kefir somewhat more quickly than does milk, 12 to 24 hours. In a heat wave, it was done in about 9 hours for me. The longer it stands, the tangier it gets.
  • Stir the kefir and then strain it in a nylon mesh or stainless steel strainer. A spatula is helpful to gently lift the curds and pick out the kefir grains. Don't press down on the grains.
  • Refrigerate the kefir for a day or so, where it will continue to thicken.
  • I used it to make delicious smoothies. If you prefer a yogurt type of consistency, drain through a coffee filter or in a yogurt strainer to make a thicker consistency.
  • Put the grains into a clean jar and start over. If you do not want to make more at this time, place in a container and cover by 1 inch with milk or cream it should be ok for a week or so.
  • You can make coconut kefir for about two weeks, but after two weeks, rejuvenate the kefir grains in cow's or goat milk. Kefir grains will not grow and multiply in coconut milk, and they need the dairy milk to stay in peak condition.

HOMEMADE KEFIR



Homemade kefir image

Make your own milk kefir with our easy-to-follow recipe. This tangy fermented dairy drink is similar to yogurt and packed with beneficial probiotic bacteria

Provided by Caroline Gilmartin

Time 10m

Yield Makes 500ml

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ tsp kefir grains (see tip, below)
1 pint milk (organic whole milk for best results)
1 slice lemon or 1 drop lemon oil (optional)
500ml clip-top jar with gasket for fermenting (or jar, cover and rubber band)
a sieve, jug/bowl, storage bottle or a straining funnel and wide-necked bottle

Steps:

  • Put ½ tsp kefir grains in the jar. Add the milk, leaving about 2cm head room if using a clip top jar, or at least 5cm for a cloth-covered jar.
  • Set aside at room temperature for 18-24 hrs to ferment. It's turned to kefir when the milk has thickened. It may have set and separated, with pockets of whey forming - this is quite normal.
  • If you can't strain it straight away, put it in the fridge to stop it fermenting further, the flavour can get quite strong - you can strain it anytime over the next 48 hrs.
  • Strain the kefir through the sieve or straining funnel into the jug or bottle. The grains are quite robust and will withstand gentle stirring.
  • You can drink it straight away, flavour and refrigerate it (a slice of lemon peel or a drop of lemon oil add a delicious fresh taste), or leave it at room temperature for a few hours to make it taste stronger. Storing it in the fridge will slow down the fermentation by the microbes and it should remain pleasantly useable for 7-10 days.
  • In order to make some more kefir, rinse out the jar, return the grains (don't wash them, there's no need), and start again from the beginning.

  • USE MILK KEFIR GRAINS. This option uses Milk Kefir Grains and Coconut Milk. You can use homemade coconut milk or a canned variety. If using store-bought coconut milk, remember to avoid brands with additives and sweeteners, as they can be hard on the kefir grains.
  • USE KEFIR STARTER CULTURE. This option is not completely dairy-free, but contains very little dairy and is much simpler than using milk kefir grains.
  • USE FINISHED WATER KEFIR. This option is completely dairy-free. Add ¼ cup water kefir (finished kefir, not the water kefir grains) to 2-4 cups coconut milk.
