<b><i>To make toasted cereal mix:</i></b> Place all grains in a fine strainer; rinse and drain. Toast grains in one of two ways.

<i>Oven toasting:</i> Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread grains on cookie sheet and toast in oven until they give off a nutty aroma (12-15 minutes).
-
<i>Skillet toasting:</i> Place washed grains in large skillet on burner and toast on medium heat, stirring constantly, until grains give off nutty aroma (about 5-8 minutes). Let toasted grains cool and store in sealed container.
-
<b><i>To make cooked cereal</i></b>: Grind toasted cereal mix in small electric grinder or food processor. Combine ground cereal, water, and salt in a small pan. Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
