Instructions
Step 1
There are quite a few recipes for making oat broth. Flakes, which you can freely buy at any grocery store, will not work in this case. Find whole grains. For some recipes, they can be pre-germinated.
Step 2
Place 2 cups of beans in a small enamel saucepan. Pour one glass of cold water over them. Place the pot in a warm, but not hot, place for about 12 hours to allow the beans to swell.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over the soaked beans on the stove top. Make a slow fire. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil, cover and leave to simmer for an hour and a half. Add water periodically to keep the oats submerged all the time.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat. Lay out the grains, but do not drain the water. Rub the oats through a sieve or other convenient method. Put the resulting mixture back into the saucepan, stir and put on low heat again. Boil it for a while, stirring occasionally. The contents of the pot should look like jelly. After that, cool the broth and drink 2-3 times a day.
Step 5
A decoction of sprouted grains is prepared in a similar way, only there will be more liquid at the very beginning. For 1 part oats, take 3 parts water. Let the beans swell in the same way as in the previous case, put the saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil. Remove the cover. To allow the water to evaporate. This will take about two hours. The volume of water during this procedure is approximately halved. After that, strain the broth through double-folded cheesecloth or through a sieve and refrigerate on one of the lower shelves.
Step 6
Oatmeal broth with honey is very good as an anti-cold remedy. Boil 1 liter of water. Pour the refined grains laid out in an enamel pot with it. Put an open saucepan on the burner, making it slow heat. In this case, the water must also evaporate. When the amount of liquid decreases by about three times, the broth is ready. Remove from heat, strain through cheesecloth, cool slightly and add 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
Step 7
Oatmeal broth with honey can be prepared in another way. Pour cold water over the grains in a ratio of 1 cup of grains to 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil, cover the saucepan and reduce heat to low. Cook for about half an hour. Then pour the broth together with the grains into a thermos and leave it alone for a day. Then strain and boil again. Cool slightly and add a couple of teaspoons of honey.
