How to freeze kefir

Freeze the kefir in a bag or other packaging from which it will be easy to take it out.

Kefir should be kept in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Defrost kefir by leaving it overnight at room temperature.

We take the frozen kefir out of the package and put it in a colander on several layers of gauze. This way the collected whey can be used for baking.
