Pour the milk into a glass jar, add your kefir grains and store on your kitchen table overnight (24 hours) whilst covering the jar in cheese-cloth.

The kefir is ready when the curd and the whey separates.

That's all you need to do to make your own kefir.

You can serve it plain or with other flavours (like berries or honey or sugar).
