# Ingredients:
→ For the Talbina
01 -
500 ml of organic whole milk or plant-based milk
02 -
2 level tablespoons of barley flour (approximately 30 g)
03 -
A pinch of salt
04 -
Honey to add sweetness
05 -
Dried fruits of your choice (raisins, hazelnuts, cranberries, almonds, cashews, walnuts, sesame seeds)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by pouring the milk into a pot. Sprinkle the barley flour in and whisk it together off the heat to stop any lumps from forming.
02 -
Set the pot on low heat and cook gently for about 10–15 minutes. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon so it doesn’t stick at the bottom. A double boiler works too.
03 -
Once it thickens the way you like, add honey or unrefined cane sugar. Pour into two bowls and top with any dried fruits you like.
# Notes:
01 -
You can flavor your talbina with ground cardamom, cinnamon, or green anise powder.
02 -
Talbina comes from prophetic medicine and is known for its benefits, especially for the heart and body.
03 -
If you want a lighter version, just use 1 tablespoon of barley flour.
