Whenever I use a probiotic supplement that I like, I also culture the probiotics in raw young coconut juice and drink it for a stronger effect. What other medium can you use to grow probiotics? I know that some people use rice milk, almond milk, etc. What are the simplest components needed to grow probiotics?- I use preboiled chicken cabbage brot... North

This is a reply to # 1,912,645I use preboiled chicken cabbage broth. It gives a more tart tasting final result after culturing with the probiotics, than I get as compared to using almond milk, so I think it is more successfully culturing the probiotics than almond milk does (probiotics make liquids taste tart when they have cultured).
I read once that probiotics need a range of amino acids available to survive, and I don't feel that almond milk has enough amino acids. Chicken broth does, and the cabbage puree in there provides a carbohydrate source for the probiotics to eat as well.
Homemade chicken broth, run through a sieve to remove bones, then pureed with cooked cabbage.
Sounds weird, but it works.

This is a reply to # 1,912,693I got a question about how to do the chicken broth cabbage broth to grow probiotics, so here's the recipe. No Sugar needed.
Really easy: just make it the strength of about what you would eat yourself as broth. Approximately is fine. It does not have to be one certain perfect strength.
I use any common brand of probiotic capsules as my culture: open the capsule (one capsule per about 1 cup of broth), and dump it into your precooked, cooled broth mix.
Then into my yogurt maker, which I think is set at about 110 degrees farenheight, roughly.
Nothing else added, just the cabbage broth (homemade), the chicken broth (homemade), and the inside of the capsule. The broths cannot be overly hot when you add the capsules, or the excess heat will kill the good bugs that the capsule had.
Sometimes I use cabbage broth (homemade) that has been fully seived of all pulp, and other times I use cabbage broth (still homemade) that has some pulp left in it.
In about 24 hours, it tastes tart, which means it worked. If it does not taste tart, then either the probiotic capsules used were dead (a bad brand or something) or the broths were way too hot.
Use well-washed containers and spoons for the broth as you put it into the yogurt maker, so to avoid adding bad bacteria.
As to what kind of yogurt maker: I've used two kinds, both work. Check out bedbathandbeyond, I think they sell one on their website. Some other kitchen stores sell them too.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,912,645For dairy if you have a clean source of grass fed raw milk you can use real kefir grains to culture kefir buttermilk. They grow with every batch so you only buy them once.
You can also get water kefir grains to make a carbonated beverage out of sugar, water, and fruit. Kids really like this one.
You can make sour kraut with cabbage, water, and a probiotic pill. My favorite is red cabbage, ginger root, and a dollup of honey.
I've also made dill pickles with cucumbers, fresh dill, honey, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, cinnamon stick, cloves or just use pickling spice.
Whatever veggies you like pickled in vinegar you can ferment raw with a probiotic starter and a bit of honey to get a very similar flavor.
