Oatmeal jelly Izotov

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Izotov oatmeal jelly at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take purified, filtered water, since the taste of the dish will depend on its quality, but you can also take regular boiled water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Oatmeal needs to be chopped, but not finely, but only slightly crushed. To do this, you can use an immersion blender, but do it in a deep bowl so that the particles do not scatter across the table, or grind in a blender bowl. Crushed oats are needed to improve fermentation.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take a clean, dry jar with a capacity of at least 1.5 liters, pour oatmeal and crushed oats into it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, pour kefir into the jar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add warm water and mix everything well with a wooden spoon.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the jar with gauze and secure it with an elastic band. Place the jar in a dark place to ferment for 2 days. The optimal temperature is 22-26 degrees. In the summer season, fermentation can take place faster, so less time will be needed.

7. STEP 7

   

   After 2 days, fermentation will end, the composition in the jar will be divided into two parts: liquid at the top, oats at the bottom.

8. STEP 8

   

   Strain the contents of the jar through a sieve. Wash the resulting precipitate. To do this, I put the pulp back into the jar, poured in about a glass of boiled water, shook it and put it back on the sieve. The pulp can be used for baking.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the resulting liquid back into the jar (wash the jar before doing this), also cover with gauze, secure it and leave for another 12-16 hours.

10. STEP 10

    

    After a while, a sediment forms at the bottom of the jar - this is the starter, the basis for making oatmeal jelly. The liquid on top is oat kvass. This refreshing drink quenches thirst well during the hot season and is rich in vitamins and microelements. It can be stored in the refrigerator and can also be used to make oatmeal jelly.

11. STEP 11

    

    Carefully, without shaking the jar, pour the kvass into a separate container. Some sources recommend using a rubber tube. I managed without her. The starter is quite dense and thick and, when drained, is practically motionless. The starter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, this is how long the microorganisms retain their beneficial properties.

12. STEP 12

    

    Next, to prepare medicinal jelly, take 3-4 tbsp for 2 glasses of water. sourdough Dissolve the starter in a glass of water (I took 3 spoons).

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour 1 cup of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour the diluted starter into boiling water while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cook the jelly over low heat for several minutes, stirring constantly. The cooking time depends on the desired thickness of the drink. The longer the jelly is cooked, the thicker it will be. The jelly I got was far from thick, but not liquid either. If you need it thick, you can use more starter. Let the drink cool slightly. You can drink oatmeal jelly warm or cooled. Be healthy!
