Spciy Chocolate Kefir

Made this today - Spicy Chocolate Kefir

I played around with it last week and it is a very interesting drink!! Full chocolate flavour with spicy tinges and because it is a secondary ferment - has fizz!!

I used

3 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
1/4 Cup cacao
1 litre kefir raw dairy milk
Sweetener to taste - I use honey

Whisk cacaor powder into the the kefir and then add the spices. Pour into Mason jar and let set on bench for another 8-12 hours.
Remove the spices and gently blend the kefir to make it smooth. Add sweetener to taste. Place in fridge in summer time. 
Any fermented milk can be used.
