- Pour the wheat berries into a colander, draining off the old water and rinsing the wheat berries. Place the berries back in the jar and cover the jar with a breathable cloth or paper towel and secure it with a rubber band.
- Set your jar in a low-light location.
- Strain the rejuvelac off of the wheat berries and store in covered glass container in the refrigerator. It will keep for at least a week, just make sure it still smells and tastes fresh.
- You can add a piece of ginger, cinnamon, a squeeze of lemon, orange, or your favorite fruit before drinking, or you can drink it plain.
Notes
You can reuse the wheat berries to make a second batch. It will only take a day to ferment and make more.
