Multi-Grain Hot Cereal

• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons amaranth grain
• 2 tablespoons millet
• 2 tablespoons rye flakes
• 2 tablespoons cracked wheat
• 2 tablespoons steel cut oats
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds
• 1/3 cup dried apricot, chopped
• 1/3 cup raw almonds, chopped

1. The grains need to equal 1 cup, so I used heaping tablespoons. The flaxseeds are in addition to the 1 cup. You can use any dried fruit and nuts you like and any combination of grains as long as the grain to water ratio is 1:3. Next time I make it, I think I'm going to try adding brown rice and quinoa into the mix. I'm also thinking of grinding the grains in the blender to make more of a creamy cereal, but I honestly don't know it that will work or not.
2. Boil water. Stir in grains and flaxseeds. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in fruit and nuts. Cover and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Serve with a little soy milk and your good to go! Store leftovers in the fridge.
3. Enjoy!
