Lacto-Fermented Strawberry Lemonade

Lacto-Fermented Strawberry Lemonade | The Family That Heals Together

It’s barbecue weather, officially! Our family loves any excuse to grill out, and my boys get so excited when I make special drinks to enjoy on the side of a yummy meal. I’ve finally gotten back to brewing kombucha, and they adore it, but homemade lemonade is a favorite, too. Add some strawberries and lacto-fermentation and you’ve got a healthy, delicious beverage that we all love! Read below about making lacto-fermented strawberry lemonade.

It’s whey easy.

First, you’ll need to make some whey. You’ll need about 4 cups of yogurt or thick milk kefir, some cheese cloth or a thin towel, and a glass bowl.

Fold the cheese cloth so that it has four layers, then tie together two diagonal corners.

Scoop the yogurt into the cheese cloth, then tie the other two ends together so you’ve made a little “sling” holding the yogurt. Either attach the top to a cabinet knob or enclose the knots inside a cabinet door that won’t be disturbed.

The whey will begin dripping through the cloth, so place a glass bowl below to catch the drippings. Collect one cup of whey, which may take a couple of hours. If the yogurt is dripping through, you don’t have the cheese cloth layered enough.

Now make the lacto-fermented strawberry lemonade.
