Directions
stir together ingredients in a small clear glass jar that has been sterilized - we only want sourdough beasties or microbes to grow here, yeast and lactic acid bacteria.

Cover loosely with a lid or a cloth with rubberband. Place somewhere where it will be at least 72F but not hotter than about 76F for the 1st day. Stir at least 3-4 times periodically for best results.
