Aqua Kefir, also known as Water Kefir, is a probiotic beverage similar to kombucha that is made with water kefir grains or Tibiscos. It sounds super mad scientist, but actually people have been brewing kefir for centuries for its health benefits, and deliciously fizzy taste that is more full-bodied than seltzer, but less intense than kombucha. I started brewing it in 2010, and couldn't believe it was naturally fizzy, and amazing for you.
A quick Google search will turn up many health claims for water kefir, curing everything from acne to cancer. Touted as the next Kombucha, kefir has been showing up on retail shelves across the country, and it also very easy to make at home using a basic kefir kit, some swing tops, and whatever flavors you like.
