Marly's Peachy Kéfir

For the Cultured Milk

1 quart fresh whole milk

Slowly heat milk to 185 degrees (use a thermometer) then immediately remove from heat and allow to cool to between 73-77 degrees.  Dissolve 5 grams kéfir starter in 1 cup of the cooled milk then add back into the quart and stir to combine.

Pour the inoculated milk into a clean glass container, cover and let stand at room temperature until curd forms, about 24 hours.  Transfer to refrigerator and chill overnight.

1 1/2 cups frozen organic peaches (use fresh when in season)
2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly-grated ginger (substitute ginger powder)
