This is a 3-step process: 1) Empty coconut milk into a clean glass jar or bowl. 2) Top with probiotic and stir. 3) Cover with cheesecloth and wait. That’s it! Seriously – it doesn’t get any easier than this. And the result is phenomenal! I use: • Biokult • Udo’s super 8 • Optibac Bircher Muesli Ingredients (Serves 1)
