Get your enzymes and probiotics with REJUVELAC (sprout lemonade)!

The lemony taste is from the culturing and fermenting of sprouted wheat.  It is a bit sour, like yogurt, but should not smell foul like anything rotten!  We like to add some to our smoothies in the morning, or to make seed cheese with it.  It has a reputation for adding tons of little helpful bacteria and enzymes to the intestines.
The directions are long, but it is really very simple!

To make a small batch, soak 1/2 C. of whole wheat seeds/"berries" (which you can get from the health food store) in water to cover well overnight.  I use filtered water.  Rinse and drain the wheat and put it in a sprouting tray or a quart jar.  If you use the jar, cover the top with cheesecloth or something similar, held on with a rubber band.  Sprouting trays have little holes in the bottom for water to drain out.  For 3 days you will rise the seeds twice a day, and drain each time.  With the quart jar, you need to turn it upside down after rinsing and let it drain, setting it in a bowl in that position to keep it from falling over.

After 3 days of sprouting you take the sprouted wheat and put it in a blender.  Add about 3 cups of filtered water and blend.  Then just pour it all into a quart jar.  Cover with cheesecloth.  Let it sit for 3 days, stirring it twice a day.

Voila!  You have rejuvelac.  Drain it off to drink or use it to make seed cheese. It is recommended to drink small amounts at a time at first until you see how your body handles all this wonderful stuff.  Save the sprouts and use them for your chickens or the compost pile. 

Next comes the recipe for seed cheese.  (Note picture of seeds in the jar.)

Happy rejuvenating!
