Rejuvelac
Highly nutritious fermented drink.
- Yield: 3 cups 1x
- Category: Drink
- Cuisine: Vegan
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 C raw dry grains
- 3 C filtered water + more for soaking
Instructions
- Rinse the grains well, put them in a clean 1-litre jar and cover them with filtered water. Cover with two layers of clean cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band. Let them soak overnight.
- Drain and rinse the grains. They should be moist but with no excess water. Cover the jar with cheesecloth and put it away from direct sunlight. It takes 1 to 3 days for grains to sprout. Don’t forget to rinse them a couple of times per day.
- When your grains have sprouted, rinse them again and add three cups of filtered water. Cover with fresh, clean cheesecloth and let the mixture ferment on the counter for one to three days.
- Filter Rejuvelac through a fine mesh strainer and keep it in a fridge for up to 7 days.
- Discard the grains or feed them to birds.
Notes
You can experiment with different grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, millet, or quinoa. Preferably, buy organic.
