I buy YOGOURMET Freeze - Dried Kefir Starter in a 6 pkg box..that makes 6 quarts of liquid kefir..You can mix it with a milk sub like a rice/soy or nut milk and it doesn't take any special equipment..you just leave it out at room temperature for 24 hrs.to ferment, then refrigerate it. The only difference with making it non-dairy is that you can't save some of the past mixture to start the next (like you would with a sourdough starter). You use a new pkg. each time you make it. It's not expensive. You'll pay anywhere from $3-$6 a box of 6 pkgs. depending on how many you order at one time. I not only just drink it, I use it in smoothies and like I would buttermilk for homemade Ranch dressing or in baked products where it calls for buttermilk or a soured milk. Do a google search for sources if you are interested. Kandee
