Ingredients
-
1/2 of a fresh pear, more or less 1/2 cup diced

1/2 cup extra strong steeped chai tea (either 1 tea bag or 2 tsp loose leaf)
-
4 cups first ferment water kefir
-
Swivel-top bottle, wooden spoon, nylon strainer
Equipment
Directions
Make the first ferment and leave the jar in a warm place for 24-48 hours.
Prepare chai tea and allow to steep for 5 minutes to ensure the concentrate is strong.
Dice pear into pieces small enough to fit into your swivel top bottle, and add them in.
Pour in chai concentrate.
Strain grains, and add the first ferment to the bottle with the chai and pear dices.
Seal the bottle and leave in a warm place for 24 hours for the second ferment.
Open slowly, strain and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Make sure to burp the bottle every 12 hours to avoid an overflow from over-carbonation.
Chai tea typically has black tea in it, which is caffeinated. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you may want to look for a decaf chai or just chai seasoning, without the addition of tea.
