Recipe: Mango Kefir Sorbet

Preparation for your sorbet


For this recipe, you will need active water kefir – preferably freshly fermented. Therefore, plan some lead time and prepare your water kefir at least 24–48 hours before making the sorbet. We show you how in our guide to making water kefir.


Prepare for second fermentation


  1. Add to a glass (e.g., Oleni Mason Jar | Wide | 0.5 L)
    • 300 ml water kefir
    • 2–3 tablespoons ripe mango cubes (or 2 tablespoons mango puree)

  2. Ferment for 24 h at room temperature, then chill.

Preparing the sorbet

Now you can blend the mango-kefir mixture until creamy – preferably in a powerful blender. Then pour the mixture into a Ripple Mason Jar | Regular | 0.12 L, which is perfect for a single serving. Now it's time to put it in the freezer!

Give the sorbet at least 4–5 hours to freeze completely – and your probiotic summer refreshment is ready to be spooned.


Enjoy!
