Kefir is among the oldest fermented foods in Eastern Europe, and one I lean on constantly. Originally from the Caucasus, it spread through Ukraine, Russia, and Central Europe over centuries.
Frequently asked questions
What can replace kefir?
Plain yogurt thinned with a little milk, the texture matches, though you lose some of kefir's tang.
Can I make it overnight?
Yes, the oats soften into an overnight-oats texture. Add the honey and flaxseed in the morning.
Do frozen berries work?
Yes. Stir them in frozen the night before, or thaw for a few minutes if eating right away.
