Today, we're making the best, most beneficial and bubbliest beverage ever.... holy basil water kefir.
It's like a cross between kombucha and a flavored seltzer water.
My great friend Ryanna introduced me to water kefir {and the concept of real food for which I will be forever grateful} years ago, and it's since been one of my favorite, fermented nourishing treats to make.
Sweet, effervescent, full of probiotics, and building to the entire body.
Benefits of water kefir:
- improves gut health
- decreases inflammation
- increases immune health
- helps in absorption of nutrients
- boosts dopamine and serotonin
So whether you're new to it, pronounce it key-fur or kuh-fear, the benefits will woo you in the same way!
Add the blessings of holy basil {see more below} to the above benefits for a stress-reducing, gut-healing sparkling beverage.
Water kefir takes 5 minutes to care for each day and the combos of fruits and herbs are endless. Read more about it here.
