Add 2 cups of coconut milk into a pan.

Add 1 can of coconut milk to the pan, ensuring it is BPA free.

Blend the mixture and heat it to 92 degrees Fahrenheit, checking the temperature with a candy thermometer.

Once heated to 92 degrees, add 6 tablespoons of kefir grains from a starter package.

Whisk the mixture to combine the kefir grains thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture into a quart jar.

Find a warm place in your house that is not below 70 degrees Fahrenheit for culturing.

Cover the jar with a paper towel secured with a rubber band.

Let the mixture culture for about 14 hours, checking for bubbles and a sour smell to indicate fermentation.

After the first batch, remember you have six more uses left from the starter package, and you can repeat the process every three days.
