Ingredients
- 1/2 C raw dry grains
- 3 C filtered water + more for soaking
Instructions
- Rinse the grains well, put in a clean 1 liter jar and cover with filtered water. Cover with two layers of clean cheesecloth and secure with 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 couple of times per day.
- When your grains have sprouted rinse them one more time and add 3 cups of filtered water. Cover with fresh clean cheesecloth and let it ferment on a counter for 1-3 days.

- Discard the grains or feed them to birds.
Notes
You can experiment with different grains: wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, millet or quinoa. Preferably buy organic.
