How to Make Vegan Kefir

Traditionally kefir is made using cow’s milk, but you can also make kefir with plant-based milks. Here’s a simple recipe for making your own kefir from cashew milk, but feel free to try other types of milk as well, such as almond, sunflower seed, or coconut. The sweetener feeds the kefir microbes, so there will be minimal sugar left in the final product. You’ll notice that the grains will grow in number over time. You only need about one tablespoon of kefir grains to keep your kefir going, so you can remove the extras and either eat them, give them to friends, or put them in the compost.
