This soda is a low sugar recipe to re-hydrate your body on those hot summer days. Fermenting Coconut Water is different than making plain water kefir, since you don’t add any additional sugar to the ferment. The water kefir grains eat up all of the natural sugars in the coconut water and produce a lovely, extra low sugar, fermented product that is brimming with live probiotics and a high concentration of potassium to replace electrolytes!
MAKES:
about 4 cups
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups first ferment coconut water
- 1/4 cup diced cucumber cubes
- 1/2 cup watermelon
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- Pinch fine grain pink Himalayan salts
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup, or a sprig of mint
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Make the first ferment coconut water and leave the jar in a warm place for 24-48 hours.
