Apart from being a fermented liquid which helps to start the fermentation process of other foods (e.g. seeds and nuts for making cheese), rejuvelac is also a great energizing drink, so you can make more and enjoy it as an enzyme-rich refreshment when you need a boost.
Makes 480 milliliters/2 cups
30 grams/1/4 cup sprouted spelt berries (a tiny white tail is enough)
480 milliliters/2 cups water
Put the spelt berries and water in a jar, cover with a paper towel or muslin/cheesecloth, and store in a warm place for 48 hours, or until fizzy and a little sour. In summer, you can just leave it on a work surface, but in winter you’ll need to put it close to a radiator or oven. You can let it ferment at room temperature in winter, but it will take at least a week.
Drain, keep the liquid and discard the berries.
