Everyone gather around, I have an incredible story to tell you.
I ordered these grains aug 31. It arrived at the post office a few days later. Because of a mix up at the post office, i didn't receive them and forgot all about it. I messaged the seller when I finally remembered last week, and they provided me the shipping details. So I go over to the cheeky post office last Saturday and get it cleared up but I'm convinced these little buggers are already dead. You would to right?
So i go home and slip em into a jar of milk. 24 hours later and I have a slightly soured milk... it's a sign. So that evening I change the milk out for some fresh milk.... i drank that first batch, it was still yummy!
BAM next day, solid curdled milk!. Granted my kitchen was a little extra warm, but HOLY COW BAT MAN. They're alive and kicking like a donkey. Not only, after 6 weeks of being held up at the post office, did they survive! They're so potent and strong! I made another batch yesterday afternoon and strained it this morning. By the time i got to work it continued fermenting with a couple very soft lumps, but it was so delish! made 4 cupfuls and it was a hit.
Use whole milk <3 so yummy!
It's great to finally have something I can ferment and enjoy quickly (im itching to open my Kvass and Saurkraut at week 4, next week)
I also slipped some in my kids milk, and the Whey i got from the first batch went into her juice LOL she didn't notice a thing, #sneakymom
Thanks again Lifetime Kefir for your quick response, and amazing grains!
