Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Spoon dolomite powder into a 1 quart mason jar. It should be spread evenly about 1/2 inch deep at the bottom of the jar.

  2.  Fill the mason jar with filtered water. Leave about 1 inch at the top.

  3. Screw on the lid tightly and turn a few times to mix the dolomite powder in the water.

  4. Leave the jar on the counter until the dolomite fully settles out at the bottom of the jar. This will take a few hours, and then the water will be clear.

  5. Place the jar in the refrigerator or cool pantry. Use this water for soaking corn and corn flour for any corn based dishes. 

  6. Once the limewater is used up, toss the dolomite that has settled at the bottom of the jar and start with fresh powder for your next batch.
