Substitutes for Kefir in gelato
Kefir is a tangy fermented-milk drink cultured with kefir grains, a symbiotic community of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Compositionally it is close to milk, so in gelato it behaves like a tangy milk: it contributes non-fat milk solids and water, modest fat, residual lactose, and a bright lactic acidity. If you're out of kefir or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
