The list is long. Some people say only fifty - others say over a hundred species are there. The peculiar thing is that the microbes collect into little colonies that look like little white balls about the size of a grain of rice. These "grains" are essential - you can't just put all the species together in milk and hope for the best.

How do you make kefir grain?

Write a robust and detailed answer to the following question - How do I make kefir? Kefir is a fermented milk drink that originated in the Caucasus region. It is made by adding kefir grains to milk and allowing the mixture to ferment. The kefir grains are a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast that feed on the lactose in milk, producing lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This fermentation process gives kefir its characteristic tangy taste and slightly effervescent texture. To make kefir, you will need: milk (cow, goat, or non-dairy alternatives like soy or almond milk) kefir grains a clean glass jar Instructions: Pour milk into the glass jar. The amount of milk you use will depend on how much kefir you want to make. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of kefir grains for every cup of milk. Add kefir grains to the milk and stir gently to combine. Cover the jar with a clean cloth or coffee filter and secure with a rubber band. Set the jar in a warm place (around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal) to allow the kefir to ferment. The fermentation process will take 24-48 hours. After 24-48 hours, check on the kefir. It should have a slightly tangy taste and slightly effervescent texture. If it is too tart for your liking, you can allow it to ferment for a longer period of time. Once the kefir is to your liking, strain the kefir grains from the milk using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Transfer the strained kefir to a clean glass jar and store in the refrigerator. The kefir will continue to ferment slowly in the refrigerator, so you may want to give it a taste before using to see if it is to your liking. The strained kefir grains can be reused to make more kefir. Simply add them to fresh milk and follow the above instructions.
