Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp Honey or Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Rye Flour or Flour of choice
  • 1 OPTIONAL - Twig and leaf of a Hawthorne Tree ((contains the yeast))
  • Enough Warm Water to make is slightly runny

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve honey in the warm water. Add your flour and place a small twig (optional) in the mixture. Mix together until it's all combined then pour in a glass jar and seal with a lid.
  • Store in a dark place ie: cupboard.
  • Shake each day for 6 days and undo lid to re-release gas, then put the lid back on.
  • On the 7th day the culture should be ready. It will smell sweet/sour, and the gases will be released when you open the bottle each time.
  • To keep the starter going for next time, leave a bit left in the jar from the mixture you've already made and add more flour and water. Shake daily, as mentioned before. Repeat this process every 7 days to keep it going.
