Fermented Vegan Kefir Coconut: Deliciously Easy Recipe

  • Author: basmer1517
  • Total Time: 2 days 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

A gut-friendly, dairy-free beverage made with coconut milk, flaxseed, and water kefir grains. This fermented drink is rich in probiotics and easy to make at home for a daily energizing ritual.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons water kefir grains
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: ¼ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon lemon zest or grated ginger

Instructions

  1. If your water kefir grains are dehydrated, activate them by soaking in sugar water (¼ cup sugar in 4 cups water) for 3–4 days at room temperature, changing the water daily.
  2. In a clean quart-sized glass jar, combine coconut milk, filtered water, ground flaxseed, maple syrup (or coconut sugar), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well with a plastic or wooden spoon.
  3. Gently stir in your activated water kefir grains. Avoid metal utensils.
  4. Cover the jar with cheesecloth secured by a rubber band.
  5. Let it ferment in a warm, dark place (68°F–78°F) for 24 to 48 hours. Look for small bubbles and a tangy aroma.
  6. After 24 hours, taste the fermented coconut kefir. If it’s still sweet, continue fermenting for another 12–24 hours. It is ready when mildly tangy, slightly effervescent, and not very sweet.
  7. Strain the fermented vegan kefir using a fine mesh plastic strainer. Save the kefir grains in sugar water in the fridge for your next batch.
  8. Pour the fermented coconut milk into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate.
  9. Shake well before serving your vegan fermented coconut milk.

Notes

  • Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the best creamy texture.
  • Avoid sweetened coconut milk.
  • Metal can harm kefir grains; use non-reactive utensils and containers.
  • A warm environment speeds up fermentation.
  • For more fizz or flavor, you can perform a second fermentation with fruits or spices.
  • This recipe yields a delicious dairy-free kefir.
