How do I make it?
Ingredients
-
chopped green cabbage (e.g. chinese, pointed , sweetheart, savoy etc)
-
water
Instructions
-
Wash and chop cabbage into shreds
-
Put cabbage in a glass or ceramic bowl (not plastic or steel) and fill it with water till it just covers the cabbage (some bits will float; you are aiming for most of the cabbage under water)

3. Cover with a tea towel and leave it somewhere at room temperature for three days. The colder the room, the slower the cabbage ferments. I put mine in a spare room near the radiator, but not right up against it
4. Strain the cabbage through a sieve so that you are left with just the juice and put the liquid in a sealed jar in the fridge. (It's really important that it is a sealed jar else your whole fridge will smell !)
5. Cabbage juice will keep for about 5 days this way
6. Drink around 100ml a day (down in one if you can !)
7. When the first batch starts to get low, repeat steps 1-3 but add 100ml of the cabbage juice you have into the new batch. This speeds the culturing process, and this batch will be ready to drink in only one day.
