Will Vanilla Extract harm my kefir?

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

I am hoping to add a little "ompf" to my kefir so make it more yummy to my 2 year old. Will I hurt the kefir by adding vanilla extract? Is that the best way to get vanilla kefir?

I think that would work fine and not hurt the kefir. add it after you remove the

kefir grains.

One way to get a lovely vanilla kefir is to add a piece of whole

vanilla bean to the kefir after you have removed the grains. Just

split a small piece with a knife and run the blade of the knife down

the center of the bean to remove the flavorful seeds, and add the

seeds AND the whole piece of bean to the kefir-I add a touch of agave

nectar for a little sweetness. My daughter LOVES kefir prepared this

way. Vanilla extract contains alcohol which is not necessary for good

flavor. You can get the whole beans at most health food or whole food

stores. I also store sugar in a mason jar with a piece of whole bean

in it-it adds wonderful flavor and aroma to the sugar, and can be

added to baked goods, coffee, etc.

That is wonderful advice ! Thank you so much!

I'm glad you mentioned this BEFORE I bought a whole bottle of the

vanilla extract! :-)

Thank you kindly,
