How to Make Whole Grain Hot Cereal
- Rinse the barley under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add 1 cup of pearl barley. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until barley is tender but not mushy.
- Stir in ½ cup of coarse cornmeal and ½ cup of rolled oats.
- Continue to stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover, and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until all grains are cooked through and the cereal has reached your desired consistency. Add a splash more water if needed for creamier cereal.
- Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the cereal to thicken further.
- Serve warm with milk, honey, cinnamon, and dried fruit to taste.
