Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 100 grams spelt berries Look for fresh, organic spelt berries if possible.
  • 1 litre water Preferably filtered water to keep flavors clean.
  • 1 pinch sea salt Enhances the overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the spelt berries in a bowl and cover them with water. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours to allow them to soak.
  2. Once soaked, drain the berries in a sieve and rinse them well under cold water.
Blending and Straining
  1. Add the soaked spelt berries to a blender with 1 litre of fresh water and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute or until very creamy.
  2. Pour this mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a large bowl.
  3. Use a spatula to help push the liquid through, squeezing gently if using a nut milk bag. Discard the spelt pulp or incorporate it into your bread or porridge.
Storage
  1. Transfer the spelt milk to a sealed bottle or jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

It's best to soak the spelt berries in a bowl at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Make sure your blender is strong enough for the job; a high-powered blender yields the best results. Shake well before use as natural separation may occur.
