Barley porridge in water turned out crumbly and aromatic. I took crushed cereal - a cell. I washed it in several waters and soaked it for one hour in warm water (although the author does not recommend it, I decided to play it safe). Cooked over medium heat for 30 minutes, then, according to the author’s advice, wrapped the pan in a towel and left for 2 hours. Very tasty as a snack and with homemade cow's milk. The porridge just crumbles in your mouth, and the milk adds a creamy taste. Perfect for breakfast!
