How to start a batch

Three jars, three rhythms: water kefir and milk kefir are ready after 24 hours, kombucha after 7 to 10 days. The guides to water kefir, milk kefir and kombucha explain every step.

Storing the cultures

Water kefir: between batches, the grains wait in the fridge in fresh sugar water for up to two weeks.

Milk kefir: need a break? Put the grains in fresh milk in the fridge, where they'll wait for up to a week.

Kombucha: between batches, the SCOBY stays in a little finished kombucha, covered, at room temperature.

Can't start on the day they arrive? The cultures wait in their pouches in the fridge for two to three days.

Everything to get started

Three living drinks from your own kitchen

Water kefir as lemonade, milk kefir at breakfast and kombucha for the weekend. The complete kit is the best-value way to try the lot.

Water kefir

Fresh and fruity, 1 litre every 24 hours.

Milk kefir

Creamy and tangy, fresh every morning, and a ready-made stand-in for buttermilk.

Kombucha

Aromatic, made with your tea, in 7 to 10 days.

The biggest saving

You save £7 compared with buying the three cultures separately, and the kit alone passes £35, so standard delivery is included.

Your week

How it fits into your week

CultureWorkReady afterLovely with
Water kefir 30 g2 minutes a day24 hoursLunch, barbecues, instead of fizzy drinks
Milk kefir 20 g2 minutes a day24 hoursPorridge, smoothies, scones, pancakes
Kombucha SCOBYAbout 10 minutes a week7 to 10 daysWeekends, Sunday dinner, salad dressings

Start all three on the day they arrive. If that's not possible, they wait in their pouches in the fridge for two to three days. There's a guide ready for each one, and plenty of ideas in the recipes.

Getting started

Where to begin with each jar

Water kefir. Sugar water, a dried fig, a slice of lemon, the grains, a cloth on top. The guide to your first days with water kefir walks you through the first week, and strawberry water kefir is the classic first flavour.

Milk kefir. Grains into a litre of whole milk, 24 hours, strain, repeat. Everything is in how to make milk kefir. Once you have a jar to spare, try it in place of buttermilk in your next batch of scones.

Kombucha. Sweet tea, the starter liquid and the SCOBY, then a week of patience. Follow how to make kombucha, and when the first batch is done, a berry kombucha with hedgerow blackberries is hard to beat.

Questions

What people ask us before ordering

Is it a lot of work with three cultures?
Less than you'd think: two minutes a day for each kefir and ten minutes a week for the kombucha. After a week you'll have your routine.
Does the kit make a good gift?
It's our most popular gift, for Christmas, Mothering Sunday, Father's Day or a birthday. Fill in the recipient's address at checkout and the invoice comes to you by email.
Do I pay for delivery?
No. The kit is over the £35 mark, so standard tracked delivery (3 to 6 working days across the UK, with Royal Mail on the last stretch) costs nothing. If you'd rather have express tracked delivery, it's £14.90. All prices include VAT.
How do I pay?
By Visa or Mastercard, debit or credit, with Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal, or with Klarna in three instalments. Prices include VAT.
What if a culture doesn't get going?
Email us with a photo. We'll look at it together and find a solution: a replacement or your money back.
