How to Use Your Kanji Making Kit

Make your own refreshing, probiotic-rich drinks at home with our easy-to-use sachets. Whether you're going traditional or exploring new flavours, this guide will help you get started.

What’s Inside Your Kanji Making Kit?

Your kit includes three unique sachets, each designed to help you craft delicious, probiotic-rich drinks at home with ease:

1. Kanji Spice Mix

A bold, traditional blend made for fermenting beetroot or carrot into the classic North Indian kanji — tangy, spicy, and deeply refreshing.
Use: 1 full sachet with 200g beetroot or carrot and 1.8L water.

2. Ferment Spice Mix

A lighter, versatile spice blend that pairs beautifully with raw mango, cucumber, watermelon, and more. Perfect for experimenting with fruity, herbal probiotic drinks.
Use: 1 full sachet with 200–300g fruit/veg and 1.8L water.

3. Ferment Boost

A prebiotic-rich powder that helps beneficial bacteria grow faster during fermentation. It improves probiotic content and speeds up the process. Can be added to any recipe.
Use: ½ sachet per 1L batch (optional but recommended).

Together, this trio gives you the freedom to make both traditional and creative fermented drinks — easily and naturally, right at home.
