- 1 thermos
- 1 cup whole wheat berries
- 2 cups boiling water
First preheat the thermos by filling it
with your hottest tap water. Place the lid
on it loosely and allow it to sit while you
do the rest of the work. Meanwhile bring
2-cups of water to a boil. When the water
boils, dump the tap water out of the
thermos. Immediately pour the boiling water
into the thermos. Pour the wheat berries
into the thermos along with the boiling
water. Try to work quickly so the water
doesn't lose too much of it's heat. Screw
the lid tightly onto the thermos. Now allow
the wheat to cook in the thermos for about 8
hours, or overnight.
When you open the thermos you will have
lovely freshly cooked wheat, the perfect
temperature for eating. You may need to
drain off a little of the water if it hasn't
all been absorbed. Serve anywhere you would
rice, or stir some into a little yogurt with
a bit of brown sugar. Cooked wheat is also
nice for breakfast with a few dates and
milk.
If desired, this recipe is easily doubled or
trippled for larger thermoses.
