Pour in 1-2 cups of water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the kefir grains to the sugar water.

Fill the jar with more room temperature filtered water.

Cover the jar with a cheesecloth or a special filter strainer cover.

Let the mixture ferment at room temperature for 24 to 36 hours, but do not exceed 48 hours.

After fermentation, drain the liquid into bottles for a second ferment.

Add flavoring ingredients like lemon and fig to the bottles if desired.

Seal the bottles and let them carbonate for a while before refrigerating.
