Rebbetzin's Kefir Recipes (What is Kefir?)

Our Rebbetzin says that you can serve Adonai much better if you are healthy and well and energetic. What you eat and drink is so important to your health. Kefir is amazing how it makes and keeps you healthy. (What can Kefir treat?) Here Rebbetzin is sharing her nutritious kefir recipes with those of you who make your own kefir at home (how to make kefir at home) using live kefir grains, instead of buying the commercial kind. (what's the difference?) See how you can make good use of extra liquid kefir, and the kefir whey which comes from making kefir cream cheese. We hope that after trying a few of these recipes, you will be inspired to modify your own favorite recipes. If you have a great recipe consider sharing it with us by sending it to admin@orhaolam.com (How can I get live kefir grains?)

Some have asked why bake with kefir seeing as the hot temperature kills the probiotic? The answer is that the kefir will culture your baking product (or predigest the carbohydrates) if you let it sit and rest for several minutes before putting it into the oven. The end result is that when you eat cultured food your digestive system can work more efficiently, you will have more energy and your body will store less calories. This is very helpful in losing weight or maintaining an ideal weight.

Cheese:

Going Out of Town?

How to Take Kefir with you. Or to leave it at home: strain your grains, put them in a glass jar, just barely cover with milk and put in refrigerator. Grains will sleep well up to 7 days, then you will need to put them in fresh milk. Can repeat this for another seven days only. Kefir grains will not grow like this in the refrigerator.
