Kefir

Kefir is a popular drink in the Caucasus, Russia and Scandinavian countries.


It taste like acidic milk gone bad, but it is good for digestion. A carton of Kefir imported from Germany costs about 16 sgd (8 Euros) in Singapore. That’s really expensive. So my family started making our own kefir after a family friend gave us some kefir seeds. And I had the responsibility of making a litre of it every night for the family’s daily consumption.

In Russia, a carton of Kefir or milk cost 26 rubles (1.20sgd).
That’s even cheaper than milk in Singapore!
So from this week, I have officially made Kefir my breakfast and dinner staple.
