Instructions for preparing kefir:
Step 1. Dissolve the content of one satchet of Kefir cultures in 1 litre of milk which is not refrigerated (preferably ceramic or glass with a lid). Stir well. Leave this mixture for 48 hours at room temperature. Do not place the container in direct sunlight.
Step 2. After 48 hours take out 3 tablespoons from the mixture. Do no refrigerate or add any flavouring before you have done this. The remaining Kefir is ready for consumption.
Step 3. Now you can prepare the next batch of Kefir using the 3 tablespoons of Kefir you took from the bottle at "Step 2 above" - you can add as much milk to this batch as you are going to consume, up to a maximum of a litre. Stir and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours.
Please note that all further batches from this original sachet need only 24 hours to culture. For each fresh batch, remove 3 tablespoons as above and repeat process. After 4 to 5 weeks, when the Kefir is beginning to get thin and watery, use a new sachet of Kefir and restart the cycle. Prepared Kefir should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 48 hours.
