Ingredients
Scale

For the Cranberry Orange Water Kefir:
Instructions
- Prepare the Cranberry Orange Water Kefir: Strain the finished first-ferment water kefir and transfer it to a clean swing-top bottle or fermentation-safe jar.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in the cranberry juice, orange juice, orange zest, and maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Seal and Ferment: Secure the bottle tightly and let it ferment at room temperature for 24–48 hours to develop carbonation.
- Check Carbonation: After 24 hours, test the fizziness; refrigerate once it reaches your preferred level of carbonation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Cranberry Orange Water Kefir chilled and consume within a week for optimal taste and fizz.
Notes
- Remember to burp the bottle daily during the second ferment to prevent excessive carbonation.
- Use pure, unsweetened juices for the best results, or experiment with pomegranate juice for a different twist.
