1 c grain

2 c purified or distilled water

1. Soak grain in filtered water for 8-12 hours.

2. Strain off water and rinse grain well.

3. Pour purified or distilled water over grain, cover loosely and soak anywhere from

12-24 hours or until water becomes slightly bubbly and has a tart, slightly lemony

flavor, this is the ‘rejuvelac’.

4. Strain off liquid and drink. (Or, more favorably, use in an all fruit smoothie.)

5. Grain may be reused to make another batch, simply add more purified water and

soak again, the second batch will not take as long to get bubbly. Grain can be reused

3-5 times or until the flora digests the grain enough that it starts to fall apart.

At this point, grain will have such a strong fermented flavor that I just throw it out

or compost it.

Note: If your rejuvelac is excessively bubbly and has an off or foul odor, do not use it,

because most likely an unwanted strain of bacteria was cultured. High quality grain rarely

yields unwanted bacteria cultures, though air quality in your home may be an issue if you

have repeated bad batches.
