Kefir Orange

[Ashlyn Robello]

Madewith organic ingredients and 1g of added sugar per ounce, Organic Orange ProBugs Whole Milk Kefir is the perfect go-to snack. This creamy kefir is high in protein and calcium and low in lactose. Each no-spill pouch has 12 live and active probiotic cultures to help support digestion.

Why orange soda? Well two reasons; 1. I had a giant bag of oranges I needed to use and 2. orange soda reminds me of camping when I was a little kid. I was daydreaming of warm sun and the outdoors during some rain showers and cloudy skies the other day. Orange soda takes me back to nature, camping, long boat rides on the lake and the warm sun. How is that for nostalgic?

This recipe is so simple and only needs two ingredients. I recommend using a high quality, organic orange juice. You can squeeze the juice yourself or purchase at a local store or farmers market. Feel free to experiment by adding in more juice or less depending on your taste. You could also add in some ginger to make an orange ginger soda or vanilla to make an orange vanilla soda.

Hi, I love the recipe. I was wondering if this is similar to orangina. There are many recipes using whey, but I prefer not to use it. Your recipe looks delicious. I make water kefir all the time but never thought to use orange juice. Thanks!

Do you mind sharing what brand of OJ you used? Was is a pre-made refrigerated jug or did you make it from concentrate? My version of this (even though I used the same ratio) looked a lot less orange than your photos and tasted more watered down. Think it would it be ok to use more OJ than the 1/3 ratio?

Pour 1/4 cup sugar into the jar, add 1/2 cup hot water and allow sugar to dissolve.

Add 3 cups room temperature water.

Once mixture has completely cooled, add the water kefir grains.

Cover the jar and place in a warm spot, 68-85F, to culture for 24-48 hours.

Separate kefir grains from the finished water kefir by straining.

Prepare a new batch with the strained kefir grains.

You can now flavor your water kefir, bottle it up and store in the refrigerator.

Many years ago I discovered a way to make kefir not only taste better, but to increase the nutrients in it. It is the only way that I make my kefir now because it is so delicious. The process is called second fermenting. I have to admit that the reason I second fermented my kefir, is because it tasted so much better.

Second fermented kefir will have more nutrients and the vitamins will sky rocket! This is due to the added prebiotics in the fruit or vegetables. When you add a new fuel source for the new microbes in kefir, they begin to grow and multiply, which increases all the vitamins and especially the folic acid, but it is the taste that makes me do it again and again. It takes away the super sharp sourness and mellows out the flavors. Everybody I have taught to second ferment has continued to do so because it tastes so superior to regular kefir. If you second ferment with a lemon or orange peel or a million other things it will flavor the kefir and make it taste unique and delicious. It also increases B vitamins, like folic acid, and makes the calcium and magnesium more bioavailable which means that your body can take it in and use it immediately. Basically, it is predigested and loaded with enzymes.

This kefir, flavored with lemon or orange, is so yummy. It is lighter and creamier than kefir made with the basic recipe and has a little more carbonation. The taste is worth the extra fermenting and the nutrients sky rocket.
