Water Kefir Recipes

I just ordered some water kefir and was wondering what some of your favorite drinks are to make. I was thinking of brewing up a ginger beer like drink with ginger and lemon. Also is Milk Kefir better for topical use?

It tasted gorgeous when I made it up like cider (apple juice (not from concentrate), watered down with bottled water or used as is). You can also put it in smoothies and stuff so as to give the probiotics more buffering as they pass through your stomach acid (something which I imagine is a bigger problem for water kefir than milk.

I think you can also use young coconut water (optionally with the milk in there too).

I'm not sure about using it topically.

Water kefir is quite enjoyable and flexible to make, it's good just to experiment really! ^_^
