bone broth
- 30 chicken feet
- a handful of salt
the above ingredients consistently produce a great, thick jelly !
OR
- non-oily fish heads (1kg or so) the more the better — sea-bass, snapper,& barracuda are great
- any vinegar — 0.5 cup (best is homemade pineapple ; ) see below
AND
- big pot of water
brew —
- bring h2o to a boil
- drop in fish heads OR chicken feet
- bring back to a light simmer
- add vinegar (~0.5 cup) OR salt
cook at a light simmer for 1–3 hours (for fish)
3–6 hours for chicken (the longer the better)
- stir every 15 minutes
after the first hour,
- use a wooden spoon to pound & crush the material
- add more water to top-off pot as needed ( b/c of evaporation loss)
after a few hours,
- stop heat
- let cool
- strain liquid and discard all material
- store liquid in glass or pot in refrigerator
a strong brew will turn into a thick jelly when refrigerated overnight
serve —
warm it up and add salt to taste
enjoy!
my health effects —
after only 4 days of drinking 300ml in the morning
i dramatically noticed that my joints were more lubricated
the story is —
“…one morning,
on my way to school,
riding my bike,
i was like, “what’s up with my bike today !?!…”
“did i just oil-up the chain or something ?…
“NO, it’s my body !
then, i pulled over
and wiggled and danced to feel it better
& with a crazy look on my face like, WOW !!!…
at first,
it may smell & taste fishy,…
but, now i love it !
pineapple soda OR vinegar
it’s easy to make & Sooooo Yummy !
i love to sip on it chilled, on ice…
ingredients —
- water
- a big glass jug
- a pineapple
- sugar
some people use the outside skin to make Vinegar
and eat the meat inside of the pineapple…
but, i try to avoid pesticides,
which are concentrated mostly in the outside skin…
so,
- cut off & compost the outside pineapple skin
then,
- cut the inside meat into small pieces
- add the sugar and pineapple meat cubes into the water
- stir it up
- put a cloth cover over the jar, so it can breathe…
and stir as often as possible…
- stir 2–3 times a day will be fine
after ~1-3 days,
you will see it bubble and foam,
especially when u stir
after another day,
the bubbling will stop —
- take out all the pineapple pieces
- squeeze the juice out of them
now, it’s soda
- bottle & refrigerate
re-useable bottle caps — u just pop on & off…
or
to make vinegar
- put on an air-tight lid
- & continue to stir for another few days
CAUTION —
with the air-tight lid, pressure builds…
so, you need to open it at least one-time every day…or !!!
after a few more days, it’s vinegar…
you will know —
- now, pressure does not build-up
- now, it tastes very sour
So! — only now, you can store it away of long-time
now, there’s no need to open the lid or stir
- store it somewhere — dark & cool
but, careful —a few months later, when u open it…
it might bubble up and fizzle, but just a bit !…
enjoy!…
science
the bacteria in the pineapple eat the sugar
they have many babies
u drink all the babies
those babies (probiotics) are good 4 u ; )
Pro-tip — experiment with sugar & time →stronger brew, more alcohol…
How to Grow Sunflower Micro-Greens
first, you need to buy the right kind of seeds…
there are 2 kinds
- the normal kind u eat (black & white striped)
- black oil (which are smaller and all black)
soak them overnight in water
in the morning, drain & rinse
next, you need a container in which to plant them
// they must be sprouted in soil
the soil does not need to be deep
1–2cm of soil below & on top is fine
spread the seeds out evenly
they can be packed together tightly
but, not on top of each other too much…
// they don’t like or need direct sunlight
water them in well
water them a little every day, as needed
in ~3 days, they will sprout up
at ~Day 7,
they will be ready to harvest…
you’ll know they’re ready to harvest & eat
because —
the first 2 big leaves are big & fat
if, the next 2 leaves (the 3rd & 4th) start to grow,
harvest quickly, because
it shows the next stage of growth began
// & they will not be as nutritious or yummy
use scissors or a knife
and cut them right above the soil
or pull them out, roots & all
rinse them well, but gently,
with cold water
spread them out on a towel to dry
put them in an air-tight container/ bag,
right before they are totally dry
they will stay fresh in the refrigerator
for 1 week easily
and usually 2 weeks is ok…
grow, eat & enjoy !
