Chef tips
Use very ripe pears for natural sweetness and a silkier texture. Chill the pitcher and glasses before serving to help preserve the bubbles.
Substitutions
You can replace conference pear with Bartlett or Anjou pear. If you do not have water kefir, use sparkling water, though the flavor will be less complex. Rosemary can be swapped for a smaller amount of fresh thyme.
