Recipe: Apple “Cider” Water Kefir

The best apple cider happens once a year, in those lovely days of fall. Fresh apples are pressed to create a tangy-sweet juice, which can then be fermented to make a most delicious and refreshing hard cider. Flavoring water kefir with apple gives it a delicious faint apple cider flavor. It is light, crisp, and refreshing and, because it is water kefir, full of probiotics. You can use either apple juice or fresh apples for this, the latter being more exciting for the fruit-tree enthusiast.
