Janet's Alfalfa sprouts

1st day: Put 2 T. alfalfa seed in a quart jar and cover with water for 1 day.

2nd day: Pour off water, and shake bottle to separate and loosen seeds.
Cover mouth of bottle with a piece of nylon from a nylon stocking held in place
with a jar ring or rubber band.

2 or 3 times during the day pour water on the seeds, shake the water, then
drain it off and shake the seeds to separate them.

3rd day: Again, 2 or 3 times during the day pour water on the seeds, then
drain it off. Seeds are ready when they are 2-3" long and starting to turn green.
Sprouts are good in salads and sandwiches. Fun for kids to make.
