🧂 食材
- 200 g Wheat berries(or hulled barley)
- 600 ml Water
- 150 g Poppy seeds
- 150 g Honey(or to taste)

👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Rinse the wheat berries thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a saucepan with 600ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until tender and most of the water is absorbed. Drain any excess water.
⏱️ 1 hour - 2
While the wheat is cooking, prepare the poppy seeds. Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds in a bowl, cover, and let them soak for about 30 minutes. Drain the water thoroughly.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 3
Grind the soaked poppy seeds using a mortar and pestle or a food processor until they release their milky liquid. This process can take some time.
💡 專業提示: Alternatively, you can use pre-ground poppy seeds, but soaking and grinding fresh ones yields a better texture and flavor. - 4
In a large bowl, combine the cooked wheat berries, ground poppy seeds, honey, and chopped toasted walnuts. If using, add raisins and orange zest.

Mix all ingredients well until thoroughly combined. Taste and add more honey or a little sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
