{Multi Grain Cereal} | barley, oats, quinoa and toasted rye

Warm and toasty! Imagine taking your water logged boots and soggy socks off after coming in from a downpour. This breakfast cereal is like that warm glow that dries out your socks and damp feet. Now stop thinking about your feet and wet socks, because we are talking about a delicious breakfast!

Okay, now how will you sweeten this magical cereal? Raw honey has damp-resolving properties and loads of beneficial enzymes, but in order to preserve those benefits it cannot be heated past 110°F (some say not to heat it above 98.6°F.) So, if you are experiencing damp-heat say in the summer, letting your cooked grains cool and sweetening with local raw honey is a great choice! However, if you need a hot bowl of cereal in the cool and cold months, sweeten with 1-2 minced dates or a little maple syrup instead.

Kitchen Tools

Multi Grain Mix Ingredients:

Yield | 7 servings, 1/3 cup dry

• 1/2 cup Whole Rye Berries, toasted and cracked

• 1/2 cup Hulless Barley, cracked

• 1/2 cup Rolled Oats

• 1/2 cup Sprouted Quinoa, pre-washed

Toast the rye berries in a dry skillet until they begin to turn a deeper brown, you start to hear popping, and that warm, aromatic scent fills your nose.

Transfer the toasted rye berries to your clean coffee grinder, and press the grind button 5 times or so for about 5-10 seconds each round. Crack the barley in the same way. Transfer all of the cracked

grains to a small bowl, and add the oats and quinoa.

This is your dry cereal mix.

Other Ingredients:

• Acidic Medium, 1 tablespoon (Goat Kefir (I use this brand), Apple Cider Vinegar, or Lemon Juice)

• Nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon

Additional Options:

• Organic Mellow White Miso, 1/4 teaspoon | (mix with a little liquid: filtered room temp water or kombucha.)

• Organic and Raw Kombucha, 2-3 tablespoons | (pick one with <2g of sugars: I love this these.)

The Night Before Breakfast:

Soak 1/3 cup of your dry cereal mix. In a mason jar or small bowl that you can cover with a plate, place 1/3 cup of your dry mix, and add 1/3 cup filtered water. Add 1 heaping, overflowing tablespoon of acidic medium. Stir and put the lid on. Leave on the counter overnight.

Breakfast Time:

• Transfer the contents of your soaked cereal grains to a small sauce pan.

• Add the 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup water and 1 tbs of goji berries. * If you are using date as your sweetener, add it now during cooking.

• Bring to a low, rolling boil and then reduce the heat. Cover and let simmer for about 9-10 minutes on low.

• If you are sweetening with * raw honey, pour your cooked grains into a wide, low bowl and let them cool. (if you used date, no need to cool, just skip to the next step.)

• Add the spices. Maybe add the optional miso and kombucha.

• Enjoy you warm, awesome, powerfully healing breakfast!
