Ingredients
Half gallon of good purified water
6 Lemons squeezed
½ cup of whey or Water Kefir
½ cup of raw sugar or sugar cane.
1tbs ground nutmeg
Instructions
Pour all the ingredients in a mason jar. And add half gallon water, fill up all the away. Mix well when you close the jar. Shake it really good.
Let it ferment in a dark place for 2-3 days. If it’s warm, go for two days. Three days will ferment more of the sugar, it will be a little sourer. Again, it depends on how you like it. If you like it sourer, let it ferments for a longer period of time.
Drain it and put it in a bottle. Put the lid on and store it in the refrigerator. The longer it sets, it builds up a better flavor.
Keep it in the refrigerator for a week. You can add strawberries if in season, pairs really well. Enjoy and be healthy!
