1 Add about twice as much cold water as the DNA source (about 200 ml or 1 cup) to the peas in the blender. 2  Blend on high (lid on) for about 15 seconds. 3  The blender separates the pea cells from each other, so you now have a really thin pea-cell soup. First, you need to find something that contains DNA such as split peas, fresh spinach, chicken liver, onion, or broccoli. 2  Measure about 100 ml or 1/2 cup of split peas and place them in a blender. 3  Add a large pinch of salt (less than 1 ml or about 1/8 teaspoon) to the blender.
