Wheatgrass Ginger Ice-Cubes ...
Picture a beautiful orchard. Abundant fruit and berries cascade down from lush verdant branches. The sun trickles through and warms the plants and flowers growing underneath. Vegetables lean up against wheat and barley grasses for protection, and a rich, strong fragrance draws the dragonfly to the water's edge. Bees, birds and butterflies live in harmony.
The food we eat need to come from such a happy environment, to produce a harmonious mix of nutrients so important for the proper rejuvenation of the body. Plants lovingly grown, in optimal organic soil, cannot fail but to give us the balance and vitality so important in the busy lives we lead.
This recipe benefits from the use of fresh produce. So respond to the call of nature, and grow your own wherever and whenever possible.
Wheatgrass Ginger Ice-Cubes
Small handful of wheatgrass, cut down to the roots and washed
2 1/2 Cups purified water
1 - 3 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
Strainer
Standard Ice-Tray
Pour the water into the blender. Add wheatgrass and ginger. Blend for a few minutes and strain into the ice-tray. Place in the freezer section of the refrigerator. It should keep for a month or more. Use in soups, salads, drinks, sauces and sweets.
This recipe can also be used to make Chili Ice-Cubes. Substitute 1 - 2 chilies for the ginger. Very hot!

Good idea, I must try it!
Can we grow wheatgrass in Gauteng? And what does it take to cultivate?

Yes you can grow wheatgrass in Gauteng! Cultivating wheatgrass is really easy. Buy 620 grams fresh, organic wheat kernels at a health food shop, organic compost and 9 standard seed-trays from a nursery. Soak seeds overnight in x2 purified water and drain them in a colander in the morning. Place your trays together on an outside table and 3/4 fill with compost.
Place one large handful seeds on top of the soil and level out the seeds so that they are just touching. Spray gently and cover with cardboard or masonite. Water everyday and keep the trays covered until you see the young shoots emerging-usually in about 3 or 4 days. Uncover and place in a protected light/shade spot. Your wheatgrass is ready to harvest in about a week or 10 days.
