water kefir

Tibicos, or water kefir is a traditional fermented drink made with water and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY) held in a polysaccharide biofilm matrix created by the bacteria.
It is sometimes consumed as an alternative to milk based probiotic drinks or tea-cultured products such as kombucha. Water kefir is typically made as a probiotic homebrew beverage. The finished product, if bottled, will produce a carbonated beverage.

    Still fermenting, stage 2. Here you can see that the fruit is starting to float, but look more carefully and you will see that not all of it is yet, so this jar is not yet ready.
