How to reduce sugar from water kefir (second fermentation!)

Water kefir is a wonderful probiotic drink, I have myself saw improvements in digestion and regular bowel moments. I have seen uplift in my confidence levels and seeing depression being faded away in just one week of regular drinking (3 spoons) of kefir once in bed time.

If you are diabetic or concerned about higher sugar content in the Kefir drink, I have seen second fermentation as best solution. My best choice is Ginger based second fermentation.

Procedure

  1. Take a piece of Ginger, peel its skin and cut into 4 equal cubes. 
  2. Drain the first fermentation liquid into glass jar and preserve the kefir grains into another fresh sugar water jar.
  3. Add the prepared ginger cubes to this drained water kefir and close the jar lid tightly
  4. Let it ferment for 24 hours and after that store it in fridge and use it for up to a week.
  5. You can have around 30 ml of this drink along with glassful of water in the early morning and before bed in the night.
