- 1 cup wheat berries
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
- 1 tablespoon honey, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or a small piece of cinnamon stick)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange flower water (DO NOT omit)
- Garnishes
- 1 apple, diced
- honey or powdered sugar
- toasted almond (slivered or sliced)
Method
- Soak the wheat berries overnight in water to cover. Drain the next morning.
- Combine the wheat berries with 3 cups of fresh water; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour or until the skins split. Drain.
- In the same pot heat the milk (or milk substitute) with the honey, cinnamon or piece of cinnamon stick and nutmeg. Gently heat until the spices start to become fragrant.
- Remove pan from the burner and stir in the vanilla extract and orange flower water. Note: if you used a piece of whole cinnamon stick remove it now.
- Stir in the cooked wheat berries and heat through if necessary. Or, as we did: spoon a serving of the wheat berries into a bowl and pour milk all around.
- Garnish the wheat berries with diced apple, powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey and the almonds.
