Water kefir is made with kefir grains (small, translucent, gelatinous structures comprised of assorted bacteria and yeasts), water, and sugars. Kefir or tibicos cultures are found around the world, with no two cultures being exactly the same.
Sugar Substitutes. The beneficial bacteria and yeasts that make up water kefir grains and produce water kefir need caloric sweeteners in order to live, and reproduce. I use organic cane sugar in my water kefir; however, you can substitute unrefined cane sugar (available here), jaggery (available here) or honey.ater Kefir and Alcohol. Like all fermented beverages, culturing water kefir produces a small amount of alcohol. The alcohol content of water kefir hovers around 0.5% to 0.75% depending on how long it is brewed, and is typically less than what you find in over-ripe fruit which hovers at 0.9% to 1%.
