My husband and I drink Water Kefir everyday. I ordered it online and started with 4 tablespoons (enough for 1 quart) and in about 2 weeks into making it I have 20 tablespoons (enough for 4 quarts. I gave my neighbor some to start them off and still have some to share. PM me your address and I can send you some and the directions for making it. I add just a little grape juice to mine and it taste great.
