Tibetan mushroom kefir is raw milk that is fermented at room temperature with milk kefir grains.
Tibetan mushrooms are also called Milk kefir grains . The kefir (alternately kefīrs, keefir, kephir, milkkefir or búlgaros) has many amazing health benefits.
Preparation Instructions
If you have a new baby portion of milk kefir grains (1tsp = 5g) that you have just received, rinse the grains with unchlorinated water. Strain and place your grains in a cup of organic whole or semi-skimmed milk (75-100ml – grain milk ratio 1 : 15 to 1 : 20) and allow to ferment for 24 hours. Once fermented, strain it through a sieve, and repeat the process again for another three days or until your kefir tastes and smells a little sour and has a little sparkle. From this point, you can start drinking the kefir and you need to continue the process; everyday strain and place your grains in a cup of fresh milk.
(Some people do not rinse/wash the kefir grains. It is not necessary. But sometimes it could be beneficial – e.g. you when you are away for 2-3 days and they do not get fresh milk every day)
If the fermentation is too fast you can increase the fermentation time by doing the following: increase the amount of the milk, reduce the temperature (place it into the fridge) or rinse your grains every time your milk kefir grains before you add fresh milk to get rid of completely the old kefir that has stuck on grains. To reduce the fermentation time reduce the quantity of the milk, keep it in room temperature and do not wash your grains.
Important notice! Do not use any tools that might have any kind of metal, it will not damage your kefir grains, but might upset it for a fairly long time and spoil your brew. Keep good hygiene practice and it will serve you for the rest of your life.
It will take at least a week to grow them to a sustainable size. This increased mushroom can be divided for more kefir production (or they can be shared with your friends). Otherwise, throw away what is not needed. It is best to drink on empty stomach first thing in the morning. It is recommended to drink for 20 days and to have 10 days of break to stop the habit of drinking kefir every day.
!!!For people with high acidity sensitivity, it is recommended to leave the milk to ferment for little less than 24 hours!!!
Tibetan Mushroom Kefir can be used to make cheese and other foodstuffs as well.
Home Made Kefir is Better Than Yoghurt and Produced Kefir
Tibetan mushroom kefir is much easier to make than yoghurt, yet it has a larger spectrum of probiotics and the sustainable grains make it more economical. Kefir produced commercially (made from artificial starters) has a different taste, smell, and texture than the kefir made from grains. The range of beneficial micro-organisms present in a commercial kefir is far more limited (e.g. bottled kefirs do not contain live yeasts).
Health Benefits of Kefir
One of the keys to excellent health and long youthful life is solving the problem of the decomposition and digestion of food in the organism. This is a serious issue because most of the food we eat is “dead” food. Putrefaction (the breakdown of organic matter usually by bacterial action) of this kind of food releases poisons into our system which sharply reduces our lives and as a result kills us from the inside. The poisons are being absorbed into our blood through blood vessels and spreads to all our cells in our body. From this point of view we are absolutely killing ourselves by what we are eating.
Tibetan mushroom is the elixir of life which is capable of helping us find the solution to this problem. In the world of health this fungus is called a “living remedy”.
Kefir neutralizes and eliminates a mass of problems, which are mainly unhealthy chemicals (poisons) which got into or formed our organism. Many of these chemicals get into our body by unhealthy eating, by polluted air and sometimes through the water from city water pipes (heavy metal poisoning).
