I learned a few weeks ago that the flip-top gasketed bottles are called limonadiers. I wondered why, since US lemonade isnt carbonated.

On another note, is the fig in there more for flavor or as a bobber to show when it's ready? The answer is usually "both" on longstanding traditions like this.

I found out that they were called limonadiers when I needed to buy one at a store. According to French websites about kefir, the fig contains essential minerals that the kefir grains need to survive.
