Has anyone made/used kefir?

[textbookcase]

My Russian friend gave me some kefir grains and I just made my first batch...it isn't half bad!

If you don't know what it is, it's a fermented milk/probiotic drink.

My friend's mom makes it all the time, she likes to blend some strawberries in with it.

My dad loves it, I'm not a fan.

Makes me think of Under$1000 Emily and her "pet" jar of kefir named Therese.

I have not tried it.

I don't make it, but I occasionally drink coconut kefir. It's good!

Coconut kefir does sound good!

LOL! My Russian friend pronounces it "kuh-FEER" but I've heard Americans pronounce it like "KEIFFAH!" and it makes me laugh.

I buy it for my son. It kind of grosses me out, but he loves it.

My mom makes it (and kombucha) in all kinds of flavors. It is interesting.

I don't know why kombucha grosses me out more, but it does. The "mother" is just so horrifying to me.

My sons love it, either in their cereal instead of milk or as a drink. It's really common in South America, and to me it's just like liquid yogurt.

My parents make kefir and love it. They even fight each other for the last bit!

I've never tried Kefir, but I really don't like drinking milk or runny yogurt.

I did make my own kombucha for a few months. The mother is super weird, and it is hard to get it to taste as good as the stuff you can buy in a bottle. I miss the Ginger and strawberry flavored kombucha

I am embarrassed to say I have no idea what any of this is... and the mother stuff I am confused.

[jane6672]

Yeah, the floaty thing in kombucha grosses me out.

My mom makes water kefir, so it is a little different.

My sister has Crohns disease and swears by it. She's on a huge probiotic kick.
