How to Make Your Milk Kefir Thicker and Less Acidic: A Complete Home Guide Discover how to...
Kefir grains are natural probiotic starters — a mix of friendly bacteria and yeast that ferment milk or sugar water to create a tangy, fizzy, gut-healing drink.
They look like small cauliflower-like clusters (for milk kefir) or crystal-like grains (for water kefir) and multiply endlessly when cared for properly.
You can ferment:
Milk Kefir Grains → for creamy probiotic-rich milk kefir
Water Kefir Grains → for refreshing, fruit-flavored probiotic drink
We supply Milk Kefir Grains, Water Kefir Grains, and Kombucha SCOBY — all cultivated naturally and delivered fresh across India.

You can use many types of milk, including:
Cow Milk (A1 or A2)
Buffalo Milk
Goat Milk
Sheep Milk
Camel Milk
Plant-based options like soy, coconut, oat, and almond milk also work, but may produce slightly different texture and flavor.
We offer both A1 and A2 Milk Kefir Grains, depending on your preference.
The quality of water you use directly affects how healthy and active your water kefir grains remain. Since these grains are live cultures, they need minerals and a clean environment to thrive.
| Type of Water | Can It Be Used? | Notes / Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Filtered Water (RO + Mineral Addback) | ✅ Best Option | Use RO water but add back minerals by mixing a small pinch of jaggery, molasses, or Himalayan pink salt. |
| Mineral Water (Packaged) | ✅ Good Choice | Natural minerals help grains grow well. Make sure it’s unsweetened and chlorine-free. |
| Boiled & Cooled Tap Water | ⚠️ Use with Caution | Safe if tap water is not heavily chlorinated. Let it cool and rest 24 hours before use. |
| Distilled or RO Water (No Minerals) | ❌ Not Recommended Alone | It lacks essential minerals, which can weaken or kill the grains over time. Add jaggery or a mineral supplement if using. |
| Chlorinated Tap Water | 🚫 Avoid | Chlorine and chloramine harm probiotic cultures. Always dechlorinate by boiling or resting uncovered for 24 hours. |
Making fresh, probiotic-rich Milk Kefir at home is simple, healthy, and cost-effective — especially when you use live organic kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy.
Follow this easy recipe and enjoy creamy, tangy kefir packed with billions of good bacteria that boost digestion and immunity.
1 glass (200–250 ml) of fresh milk (cow, buffalo, goat, or A2 milk works best)
1 tablespoon (45–50 g) of live milk kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy
1 clean glass jar (avoid plastic or metal)
1 plastic or wooden spoon for stirring
A cotton cloth or tissue paper to cover the jar
Add Milk to Jar
Pour 1 glass of fresh milk into a clean glass jar. Avoid UHT or ultra-pasteurized milk.
Add the Kefir Grains
Gently add 45–50g of JPS Milk Kefir Grains into the milk.
Cover and Let It Ferment
Cover the jar with a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper.
Keep it at room temperature (25–30°C) for 24 hours — away from direct sunlight.
Strain the Kefir
After 24 hours, the milk will thicken slightly and smell pleasantly sour.
Use a plastic or nylon strainer (never metal) to separate the grains from the fermented kefir.
Reuse the Grains
The grains can be used again immediately — just add them to fresh milk for the next batch.
(They multiply and grow with regular use!)
Store & Drink
Store your fermented kefir drink in a clean glass bottle in the refrigerator for 4–5 days.
Shake well before drinking — separation (curds and whey) is normal.
Do not drink the first batch after receiving your grains.
The first fermentation helps the grains adjust to your milk and environment.
Discard the first batch — from the second batch onward, your kefir will be perfectly safe and probiotic-rich.
Use A2 Desi Cow Milk for the best flavor and highest probiotic count.
Avoid washing kefir grains with water — just keep reusing them in fresh milk.
If you’re going on vacation, store the grains in milk in the fridge (they stay active up to 10 days).
For a thicker kefir, ferment for 30–36 hours instead of 24.
After 24 hours of fermentation, your milk kefir is ready to be strained. Follow these simple steps to harvest your kefir grains safely:
Check the consistency:
The milk should look slightly thick, like drinkable yogurt. You may see a little separation (curds and whey) — that’s normal.
Use a plastic or nylon strainer (not metal):
Gently pour the fermented kefir through the strainer into a clean bowl or jar.
Separate the grains:
Use a clean plastic spoon to help the kefir pass through the strainer. The grains will stay in the strainer, and the fermented kefir drink will collect below.
Store the grains for the next batch:
Once strained, put the kefir grains into a new jar and add fresh milk (same quantity as before).
This keeps your grains active and ready for the next fermentation.
Your kefir drink is ready!
You can drink it immediately or refrigerate it for 3–5 days. Shake well before drinking.
Tip: Always avoid using metal strainers or spoons, as they can harm the live bacteria in your kefir grains.
Once your milk kefir has fermented for 24–36 hours and you’ve separated the grains, you can turn the plain kefir into a delicious, probiotic-rich flavored drink.
This process is called Second Fermentation — and it not only improves the taste but also increases probiotic activity!
Freshly strained milk kefir (without grains)
A clean glass jar or bottle with a tight lid
Your favorite natural flavorings
| Flavor Type | Ingredients | Taste Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Fruity | Strawberry, mango, banana, blueberry, apple pieces | Sweet, tangy & refreshing |
| Citrus | Lemon or orange zest, lime juice | Zesty, energizing & light |
| Spiced | Cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, cardamom, nutmeg | Warm & cozy |
| Herbal | Mint leaves, basil, or lavender | Calming & aromatic |
| Chocolate / Coffee | Unsweetened cocoa, instant coffee, or vanilla extract | Dessert-like & indulgent |
Strain Your Kefir:
Remove the milk kefir grains after fermentation (usually 24–36 hours).
Add Flavoring:
Pour the kefir into a clean glass bottle or jar. Add your favorite fruits, herbs, or spices.
Seal & Ferment Again:
Close the lid tightly and leave the jar at room temperature (20–25°C) for another 6–12 hours.
This allows the natural carbonation to develop and flavors to infuse.
Refrigerate & Enjoy:
After the second fermentation, strain out the flavorings (if desired) and refrigerate your drink.
Serve chilled for the best taste!
Use ripe, organic fruits for better flavor and nutrients.
Avoid adding raw honey before fermentation — it can slow probiotic activity.
You can mix two flavors together (like mango-vanilla or coffee-cocoa).
Increases B-vitamins and probiotic count
Makes kefir creamier and less sour
Adds natural carbonation (like healthy yogurt soda)
Don’t buy flavored kefir drinks from the market — they often contain preservatives and added sugar that harm probiotic quality.
Make your own at home with our pure, live Milk Kefir Grains
Water kefir is a naturally fizzy, probiotic-rich, dairy-free drink that supports gut health, hydration, and detoxification. It’s the perfect healthy alternative to sugary sodas — and super easy to make at home using live water kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy.
2 tablespoons (45–50 g) of live water kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy
2–3 tablespoons of organic sugar or jaggery
1 liter of filtered or mineral water (non-chlorinated)
2–3 slices of lemon (optional, for flavor)
3–4 raisins or dates (optional, for extra minerals)
1 clean glass jar (1L capacity)
1 plastic or wooden spoon for stirring
A cotton cloth or paper cover and rubber band
Prepare the Sugar Water
Dissolve 2–3 tablespoons of organic sugar or jaggery in 1 liter of clean, filtered or mineral water.
Stir well until fully dissolved. (Avoid hot water — it can harm live cultures.)
Add the Water Kefir Grains
Add 45–50 g of live water kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy into the jar.
Add Lemon & Raisins (Optional but Recommended)
Drop in 2–3 slices of lemon and a few raisins or dates — these provide natural minerals and help fermentation.
Cover and Ferment Naturally
Cover the jar with a cotton cloth or paper towel and secure it with a rubber band.
Leave it to ferment at room temperature (25–30°C) for 24–48 hours.
Strain and Bottle the Kefir
After fermentation, strain the grains using a plastic or nylon strainer (avoid metal).
Transfer the fermented liquid into a clean glass bottle.
Second Fermentation (Optional for More Fizz)
To make it bubbly like soda, add a few fruit pieces (like orange, pineapple, or strawberry) to the strained kefir.
Seal the bottle and keep it at room temperature for another 12–24 hours, then refrigerate.
Reuse the Grains
Add your strained kefir grains back into a new batch of sugar water immediately.
They will continue to grow and multiply with each batch.
Never use chlorinated or distilled water — it weakens the grains.
Do not refrigerate grains unless you plan to pause fermentation for a few days.
Always use glass jars — avoid plastic or metal.
Don’t drink the first batch after receiving your grains; it helps them adjust to your local water and sugar.
If you use fresh coconut water instead of sugar water, it becomes Coconut Water Kefir — the same culture, just a different medium.
It’s rich in electrolytes, minerals, and probiotics — ideal for summer hydration and detox.
After 24 to 48 hours of fermentation, your water kefir is ready to harvest. The liquid should taste slightly sweet, tangy, and fizzy — that means your grains have done their job! Here’s how to harvest them step by step:
Strain the Kefir:
Use a plastic or stainless-steel strainer (never aluminum) to separate the kefir grains from the fermented water kefir.
The liquid that passes through the strainer is your ready-to-drink water kefir.
Store the Drink:
Pour the strained liquid into a clean glass bottle or jar.
You can enjoy it immediately or do a second fermentation to add flavor and natural carbonation (for example, add fruit, ginger, or lemon slices).
Rinse or Refresh the Grains (Optional):
If your sugar water was very strong, or you notice a yeasty smell, you can gently rinse the grains once with non-chlorinated, room-temperature water.
(Avoid rinsing every time — it’s usually not necessary.)
Prepare New Sugar Water:
Mix 3–4 tablespoons of organic cane sugar in 1 liter of filtered or mineral water.
Add a small piece of dried fig or lemon slice if you like. Stir until dissolved.
Reuse the Grains:
Add your strained kefir grains to the new sugar water jar, cover it with a breathable cloth or lid, and let it ferment again for the next 24–48 hours.
Tip: Always use glass jars, avoid metal utensils, and keep your water kefir away from direct sunlight during fermentation.
Once your water kefir grains have fermented sugar water for 24–48 hours, you can make your drink tastier and more fun to drink through Second Fermentation — a natural process that adds fizz, flavor, and even more probiotics!
Freshly strained water kefir (without grains)
A clean glass bottle or jar with a tight lid
Fresh or dried fruits, herbs, or spices of your choice
| Type | Ingredients | Taste Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Fruity | Lemon, orange, pineapple, mango, apple, berries | Refreshing & tangy |
| Citrus Twist | Lemon + ginger + mint | Energizing & detoxifying |
| Tropical Mix | Coconut water + pineapple + mint | Smooth & hydrating |
| Spiced | Cinnamon stick, clove, cardamom | Warm & aromatic |
| Floral | Rose petals, hibiscus, lavender | Light & fragrant |
Strain Your Water Kefir:
After the first fermentation (24–48 hours), remove the grains and transfer the liquid to a clean bottle.
Add Flavoring Ingredients:
Add fresh or dried fruit pieces, herbs, or spices directly into the bottle.
(Example: 2 lemon slices + a few mint leaves.)
Seal and Leave for 12–24 Hours:
Close the bottle tightly and leave it at room temperature (20–25°C) for a second fermentation.
During this time, natural carbonation builds up — giving your drink a pleasant, soda-like fizz.
Refrigerate and Serve:
After 12–24 hours, strain out the flavorings (optional) and refrigerate your flavored kefir.
Enjoy chilled!
Don’t over-ferment in sealed bottles — release gas occasionally to prevent bursting.
Avoid using metal utensils during fermentation.
You can reuse the same fruit for a milder second batch.
The longer you ferment, the fizzier it gets!
Boosts probiotic count naturally
Adds flavor, aroma, and fizz
Reduces sugar content further
Enhances gut health and digestion
Don’t buy bottled kefir drinks from the market — they’re often filled with preservatives and artificial flavoring.
Make your own chemical-free probiotic soda at home with our fresh, live Water Kefir Grains
If you’re taking a break of up to a week, you can refrigerate the grains.
Glass jar with a lid (not airtight)
Fresh milk (enough to cover grains fully)
Place grains in a clean glass jar.
Add fresh milk — roughly 10× the weight of the grains.
(e.g., 10g grains → 100 mL milk)
Cover the jar with a loose lid or cloth.
Refrigerate at 4–8°C (39–46°F).
Cold temperature slows fermentation, keeping grains alive but dormant.
When you want to restart, just:
Strain out the grains,
Add fresh milk at room temperature,
Ferment as usual for 24 hours.
If you’re away for up to a month:
Place grains in a jar with more milk (4–5× normal ratio).
Cover and store in the back of the fridge (coldest part).
Every 10–14 days, strain out the old milk and add fresh milk.
This keeps the grains healthy and active longer.
For extended breaks or travel.
Rinse grains gently with filtered water or milk (optional).
Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Place them in a small zip-lock bag with a little milk powder (to protect cells).
Store in the freezer (−18°C / 0°F).
When you’re ready to use them again:
Thaw in milk at room temperature and feed them daily until fermentation resumes (2–3 cycles).
Pro Tips:
Avoid metal spoons or strainers (use plastic or stainless steel only).
Always use fresh, whole milk (preferably A2 or organic).
If grains smell sour or cheesy — that’s normal. But if they smell rotten, discard.
Bonus: Best Milk Type for Kefir Grains
🐄 A2 Desi Cow Milk → Best growth
🐃 Buffalo Milk → Thick and creamy kefir
🐐 Goat Milk → Light and tangy kefir
Water kefir grains are living cultures that need minerals and sugar to stay active. How you store them depends on how long you’ll take a break. If you’re skipping brewing for just a few days:
Rinse your jar with clean, chlorine-free water.
Add sugar water – 3–4 tablespoons of sugar per 1 liter of water.
Add the grains to the jar.
Cover with a breathable cloth (to keep out dust and insects).
Store at room temperature (20–25°C / 68–77°F).
This keeps your grains semi-active and ready to ferment again anytime.
If you’ll be away for a week or two:
Prepare a fresh sugar-water solution (same as above).
Add the grains and stir gently.
Cover with a tight lid (not airtight).
Store in the refrigerator (4–7°C / 39–45°F).
The cold slows down fermentation, keeping grains alive but dormant.
Pour out old liquid, add fresh sugar water, and return to the fridge.
If you’re not fermenting for a long time:
Rinse grains gently with mineral water (no chlorine).
Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place in an airtight zip-lock bag with a bit of sugar.
Freeze and store up to 3 months.
When ready to use — thaw slowly in the fridge, then reactivate with sugar water over a few days.
Rinse and pat dry.
Spread grains on unbleached parchment paper.
Air dry in a warm, shaded area (not in sunlight) until hard.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
To reactivate: soak in sugar water for 3–5 days, changing daily.
Important Tips
Avoid chlorinated or distilled water – use filtered or mineral water.
Use unrefined cane sugar or jaggery (for mineral-rich food).
Never store in metal containers – use glass jars.
If grains smell rotten, slimy, or moldy, discard them.
Bonus Tip: For best flavor and strong, healthy grains, ferment regularly (every 24–48 hours). The more you use them, the stronger they stay!
Both Milk Kefir and Water Kefir are living probiotic drinks known for their powerful impact on digestion, skin, mood, and overall health.
When made using live organic kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy, you’re not just drinking a fermented beverage — you’re nurturing your gut with billions of live microorganisms that restore your inner health.
Modern research confirms that kefir contains 30–50 different probiotic strains — more than yogurt — along with beneficial yeasts, peptides, vitamins, and enzymes that improve gut microbiome balance and immunity.

Milk kefir is one of the most powerful natural probiotics in the world — rich in billions of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that support your gut, skin, and immune system.
But it’s not just for everyone — it’s perfectly suited for certain groups of people 👇
| Category | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| 🧠 People with stress, anxiety, or sleep issues | The probiotics in kefir help produce serotonin and GABA, which support a calm mood and better sleep (scientifically linked to the gut–brain axis). |
| 💪 Those with weak digestion or constipation | Kefir contains over 30 strains of good bacteria and yeasts that balance gut flora, improve digestion, and promote regular bowel movements. |
| 🌿 People recovering from antibiotics | Antibiotics kill both bad and good bacteria. Kefir helps repopulate the gut with beneficial microbes, restoring balance quickly. |
| 🍶 People with lactose intolerance (mild) | During fermentation, most of the lactose in milk is broken down. Kefir is much easier to digest than milk, and many lactose-intolerant people can drink it safely. |
| 🦴 People with joint pain, arthritis, or weak bones | Rich in calcium, vitamin K2, and magnesium, kefir supports bone strength and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. |
| 💖 Those with skin issues (acne, eczema, dullness) | A healthy gut reflects on your skin. Kefir helps clear acne, reduce inflammation, and improve skin glow naturally. |
| 🩸 People with high cholesterol or poor immunity | Regular kefir consumption helps lower LDL cholesterol and boosts immune defense by balancing the microbiome. |
| 👵 Elderly people & adults with low energy | Kefir provides easily digestible proteins, B vitamins, and natural probiotics — great for improving overall energy and nutrient absorption. |
For maximum benefit —
Drink 1 small glass (100–150 ml) of milk kefir daily in the morning or before bedtime.
Avoid heating it, as that kills the live probiotics.
Water kefir is a light, fizzy, and dairy-free probiotic drink, perfect for people who want gut health benefits without milk.
It’s packed with live probiotics, natural enzymes, and organic acids that help balance your digestive system, hydrate your body, and boost overall wellness.
| Category | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| 🌱 Vegans and lactose-intolerant individuals | 100% dairy-free and plant-based. A great alternative to milk kefir for those avoiding animal products or sensitive to lactose. |
| 💧 People with dehydration or low energy | Naturally rich in electrolytes and minerals, water kefir helps maintain hydration and energy throughout the day. |
| 🦠 Those with bloating, acidity, or indigestion | The probiotics in water kefir improve gut flora, reduce acidity, and ease digestion — especially after heavy or oily meals. |
| 🍹 People trying to quit soft drinks or soda | Water kefir provides a healthy, fizzy, slightly sweet alternative to chemical-filled beverages — a guilt-free probiotic soda! |
| 🌿 People with liver or skin detox goals | Its mild acids and enzymes help the liver process toxins and promote clearer, glowing skin naturally. |
| 🩸 Those with low immunity or frequent infections | Regular use of water kefir supports the immune system by improving gut microbiota — your body’s natural defense line. |
| 🧒 Kids & adults who dislike dairy products | Refreshing taste and gentle on the stomach — kids love its natural fruity flavor when fermented with lemon or raisins. |
| 🧘♀️ People focusing on weight management or fitness | Water kefir is low in calories, improves metabolism, and supports gut balance — key for healthy weight control. |
Drink 1 glass (100–200 ml) of water kefir daily, preferably before meals or mid-day.
You can flavor it naturally with lemon, ginger, mint, or fruit during the second fermentation for extra taste and benefits.

Both Milk Kefir and Water Kefir are healthy, but their benefits differ:
| Type | Best For | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Milk Kefir | People who tolerate dairy | Stronger probiotic count, calcium, protein, B12, gut healing |
| Water Kefir | Vegan, lactose-intolerant, or detox-focused users | Hydrating, gentle on stomach, supports gut flora balance |
👉 Choose milk kefir if you want more probiotics and nutrients.
👉 Choose water kefir if you prefer a dairy-free probiotic drink.
Milk Kefir has more probiotic strains — usually 30 to 50 beneficial bacteria and yeasts.
Water kefir has around 10 to 15 strains.
So, milk kefir is more potent for gut repair, IBS, anxiety, and immunity.
The best milk for kefir grains is fresh, full-fat A2 cow or buffalo milk.
A2 milk from Desi cows (like Gir or Sahiwal breeds) gives a thicker, creamier kefir with better nutrients.
Avoid:
UHT (ultra-high temperature) milk
Low-fat or skim milk (grains grow slower)
👉 JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy uses A2 milk from organic-fed Desi cows for culturing their kefir grains — ensuring top quality.
Choose kefir grains that are:
White, plump, and elastic (milk kefir)
Translucent and jelly-like (water kefir)
Have a pleasant sour or yeasty aroma
Actively ferment milk/water within 24–48 hours
Avoid grains that look dry, brown, or smell rotten.
| Feature | Real Kefir Grains | Fake / Powder Kefir |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | Alive, rubbery, and multiply naturally | Powdered, dead, single-use |
| Smell | Mildly sour, yeasty | Artificial or chemical smell |
| Fermentation | Makes kefir in 24h | May not ferment or spoil quickly |
| Reusability | Lifelong use | One-time culture only |
✅ Real kefir grains from JPS Ayurvedic Pharmacy keep growing forever if cared for properly.
When you receive new kefir grains:
Add them to a clean glass jar.
Pour 250–500 ml of fresh milk (for milk kefir) or sugar water (for water kefir).
Cover with a breathable cloth.
Keep at room temperature (20–25°C) for 24 hours.
Strain and repeat the process for 2–3 days until fermentation becomes consistent.
👉 Grains are now activated and ready for regular use!
Your grains are activated when:
The milk starts thickening in 18–24 hours.
You see clear separation (curds and whey).
It smells pleasantly sour or yeasty.
Grains start multiplying in quantity.
Tip: If the kefir is still thin or too sour, adjust milk quantity or fermentation time — the grains are adapting.
