Can honey be used for water kefir instead of sugar?
No. Sugary kefir grains [SKG] require sucrose or cane sugar to grow. But some folks find the use of young coconut water to be of good value instead of using sugar. If your SKG grow well like mine do, then there should be no concern at all about sugar content, because growing SKG remove a very large quantity of sugar from the beverage. Many folks have actually lost weight by simply introducing water kefir in their diet.
