If you're looking to improve your overall health in the new year, join us to learn all about making kefir milk at home.What is kefir?
Kefir, pronounced kuh•feer, "is fermented milk produced from grains that comprise a specific and complex mixture of bacteria and yeasts that live in a symbiotic association. The nutritional composition of kefir varies according to the milk composition, the microbiological composition of the grains used, the time/temperature of fermentation and storage conditions. Kefir originates from the Caucasus and Tibet. Recently, kefir has raised interest in the scientific community due to its numerous beneficial effects on health. Currently, several scientific studies have supported the health benefits of kefir, as reported historically as a probiotic drink with great potential in health promotion, as well as being a safe and inexpensive food, easily produced at home. Regular consumption of kefir has been associated with improved digestion and tolerance to lactose, antibacterial effect, hypocholesterolaemic effect, control of plasma glucose, anti-hypertensive effect, anti-inflammatory effect, antioxidant activity, anti-carcinogenic activity, anti-allergenic activity and healing effects". -NIH
In class, we will discuss kefir's numerous health benefits, show you how to easily make it at home, and share several recipes and uses for this magical, fermented health beverage.

Homemade kefir vs. commercially made kefir are worlds apart! Here's why:
1. Probiotic count-
Homemade kefir contains more probiotics than store-bought kefir. Kefir grains contain up to 100 billion live bacteria per 100 ml, while store-bought kefir may only contain 1 billion per 100 ml.
2. Additives-
Store bought kefir contains unnecessary additives such as thickening agents, preservatives, sugars and artificial flavors. Homemade kefir is all natural.
3. Taste-
Homemade kefir has a far superior taste! You can alter the taste of your kefir naturally by the fermentation process and adding natural flavors.
4. Cost-
Making your own kefir at home is easy and cheaper than buying it at the grocery store.
Class cost: $75 (includes all materials)
