📖 Instructions

1. Rinse the Alfalfa Sprouts: Begin by thoroughly rinsing 1 cup of fresh alfalfa sprouts under cold, running water. Gently swish them around to remove any dirt or debris. This ensures you're starting with clean, crisp sprouts.
2. Prepare the Lemon: Cut half a lemon into quarters. The lemon juice will add a zesty flavor and enhance the alkalizing properties of the drink. Plus, it's loaded with vitamin C!
3. Combine Ingredients in Blender: Place the rinsed alfalfa sprouts and lemon quarters into a high-speed blender. A good blender is essential for achieving a smooth, consistent texture. A friend suggested i use a Vitamix, but any good blender will work.
4. Add Liquid: Pour 1 cup of filtered water into the blender. You can adjust the amount of water depending on your desired consistency. Some people like a thicker smoothie-like consistency, while others prefer it more watery.
5. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the alfalfa sprouts and lemon are completely pulverized and the drink is smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is well blended.
6. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This will remove any remaining fibrous particles. I personally don't mind the texture, so I usually skip this step. However, it's definetly down to personal preference.
7. Taste and Adjust: Pour the Alfalfa Alkalizing Agent into a glass. Taste it and adjust the flavor as needed. If it's too tart, you can add a touch of honey or maple syrup. If it's too thick, add a little more water.
8. Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and nutritional benefits, serve the drink immediately. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon for added flair. Enjoy your health boost!
