LucyAnna, here’s one way.
- Buy one of these:

- Buy a Pyrex jug if you don’t have one already (any size - the process will just take longer if it is a larger jug)
- Fill the jug to within an inch of the top with your milk of choice (cow’s milk, soya milk, coconut milk, whatever)
- Sprinkle on the dried kefir grains and stir with a non-metal spoon
- Put a saucer or plate on top of the jug as a lid
- Leave the jug at room temperature out of sunlight until you have a set mixture with visible kefir grains. For me this takes 48 hours plus.
You can then keep the kefir in the fridge. When it gets down to 1-2 inches from the bottom of the jug, fill the jug with more of your chosen milk and leave it out at room temperature again. (Around 24 hours at this time of year, less in the summer.) I leave mine on the kitchen work surface out of the sun.
There is a similar process with kefir grains bought live, but you have to filter the kefir off the grains each time with a sieve.

The packets do come with instructions. I make both types. The kefir with grains bought dried is quick and easy to make, the other one a bit less so.
