Kefir - Storage and Handling Instructions?
- Store the bottles straight in the fridge if possible.
- Keep them refrigerated under 6oC for best results.
- Don’t shake before opening the bottle.
- Turn the cap slowly to open and when you hear the fizz then stop and let the fizz settle down and continue to open slowly to avoid spillage.
- Consume the bottle asap once opened. After opening the air gets inside the bottle and fermentation speeds up changing the flavour and making the drink tarty.
- Feel free to add a sweetener of your choice in case the beverage is a little tangy for the taste.
- *Pro tip for Newbies – while opening, Keep a glass or a bowl under to catch any spillage.
