Buckwheat Sprout Cocktail
Description
There's no need to even discuss the benefits of buckwheat—it positively affects well-being and health. The smoothie made from sprouted buckwheat grains turns out surprisingly delicious, despite requiring only two ingredients: the grains themselves and water. The drink looks and feels like a regular milkshake, but its taste is completely different—less sweet and with a unique, distinctive flavor of its own. Be sure to try it, you'll like it. The drink is ready to serve.

2. Gently help the seeds that have floated to the surface sink to the bottom of the container. Leave the seeds for 2–3 hours, or at most 4 hours. Drain the water and cover the container with a lid, ensuring that air circulation is not blocked.

3. Leave the seeds for one day and gently stir the buckwheat so that the top layer ends up on the bottom. Leave for another day, making sure the seeds don't dry out. The buckwheat should sprout to a length of 1-1.5 cm.
