Instructions

1

Wash lemon in warm water, then zest the yellow skin. Squeeze the juice.

Tip: Zest only the yellow part; white pith adds bitterness.
2

In a bowl, whisk kefir, lemon juice, zest, and honey until smooth.

Tip: Mix honey with a little lemon juice first, so it dissolves easier in cold kefir.
3

Just before serving, pour in soda water and fold gently.

Tip: Don't stir wildly, or you lose carbonation. Bubbles 'lighten' the kefir texture.
4

Chill for 10 minutes, then serve in glasses.

Tip: Cold dulls sweetness perception, so if it's super cold, it might taste less sweet.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use store-bought lemon juice?
Better not. Enzymes and oils in fresh lemon provide the real flavor; bottled versions are often heat-treated and taste 'flat'.
