Rejuvelac Quinoa
Rejuvelac is a highly nutritious beverage made from fermented sprouted grains. It’s incredibly easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients and a little patience required. Making your own rejuvelac is easy, affordable, and helps to make the best-aged nut cheeses you’ll ever taste!
Equipment
- Glass jar
- Cheesecloth, coffee filter, or paper towel
- Rubber band or mason jar lid
- Strainer
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 3 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Add grains to a glass jar, then cover with water. Add cheesecloth to cover the lid of the jar and secure with your mason jar lid or rubber band. Place in a dark corner for 5-10 hours.
- Strain and discard liquid from your jar and rinse grains. Return grains to the jar, replace cheesecloth and lid, and return to your dark corner.
- Repeat step two twice per day until you see sprouts appearing from the grains. This may take 1-3 days depending on the type of grain you’re using.
- Once grains are fully sprouted, add roughly 3 cups of water to your sprouted grains. Return cheesecloth and lid. Return to the corner. Stir once per day for 1-3 days.
- Rejuvelac needs at least 1 day to ferment, with fermentation being complete after 3 days. To stop the fermentation process, strain and reserve your liquid and place it in the refrigerator. Grains may be reused once more, with less time required for the second fermentation.
