Symbiota offers complete kits that take all the guesswork out, all you need is water! Water kefir is rich in probiotics, has a delicate flavour and makes a great alternative for soda drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater kefir can be flavoured with fruits, spices and herbs, yielding a beautifully fizzy gut-healthy drink. Water kefir is a similar concept to other fermented beverages such as kombucha, but instead of having a SCOBY water kefir is fermented from water kefir culture also referred to as water kefir \"grains\". Water kefir grains are small \"jelly-looking grains\" made up of bacteria and yeast.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I make water kefir?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit supplies you with everything you need and is very easy for anyone to make.
