Rejuvelac Recipe and Benefits, Easy DIY Probiotic Drink

grains

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: rice

Quinoa is high in protein and nutrients, while rice is often more affordable.

Rinse 1/2 cup of dry grain thoroughly in filtered water.

Soak the grains in 3 cups of water overnight (about 8 hours) in a 1 quart mason jar with a lid.

Place a clean mesh lid on the top of the jar and strain out the soak water.

Fill the jar again with pure water to rinse and strain again.

Flip the jar over with the mesh lid angled downward into a dish or container to drain.

Rinse the jar of grains at least once a day.

Watch for little sprouting white tails after 1-2 days in warmer temperatures.

Once the grains sprout, prepare to make rejuvalac.

In a clean 1 quart jar, add the sprouted grains and cover with about 1 inch from the top with pure water (around 3 cups).

Cover the jar with an airlock fermentation lid or a loose lid or cloth.

Ferment on a countertop or cupboard space, keeping out of direct light.

Gently swirl the jar once a day to move the grains around.

Allow to ferment for 1-3 days or until it becomes slightly cloudy with bubbles moving from bottom to top when the jar is moved.

When ready, decant and strain the liquid out, discarding the sprouted grains.

Store the rejuvalac in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
