Best guide for simple home-made Kefir? I like it but have never made anything like it before, always just bought it.
You need to order kefir grains or get some from a friend. I used http://kefirlady.com . Website is a bit of a disaster and you need to send her a $20 dollar bill in the mail, but the grains have worked great for me. She sends you a packet that includes directions and recipes along with the kefir grains.
Once you receive the grains you basically just cover them with milk in a bowl and leave it on the counter for 24 hours, then you strain the kefir grains out of the milk and you have kefir.
The grains will keep multiplying, so you'll have enough kefir grains indefinitely if you keep them alive, which just entails making sure they are always covered with milk.
