Welcome To My Kitchen – Making Spelt Milk Pt.1
Please join me in my kitchen as I prepare Spelt milk for my family!
Some information on Spelt:
Spelt is an ancient grain that traces its heritage back long before many wheat hybrids. Many of its benefits come from the fact that it offers a broader spectrum of nutrients compared to many of its more inbred cousins in the wheat family. It can be used in many of the same ways as wheat including bread and pasta making. Spelt does not seem to cause sensitivities in many people who are intolerant of wheat.
Spelt is a wonderfully nutritious and ancient grain with a deep nutlike flavor, spelt is a cousin to wheat that is recently receiving renewed recognition. Spelt products can be found in your local health food store year-round.
Spelt’s uniqueness is also derived from its genetic makeup and nutrition profile. Spelt has high water solubility, so the nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. Spelt contains special carbohydrates which are an important factor in blood clotting and stimulating the body’s immune system. It is also a superb fiber resource and has large amounts of B-complex vitamins. Total protein content is from 10 to 25% greater than the common varieties of commercial wheat.
(***PLEASE NOTE:
There will be a naturally occurring separation that takes place once the milk is placed in the refrigerator. You will notice a tan to brownish water color on the top and a thick creamy white substance on the bottom. This is normal and doesn’t mean the milk is spoiling in anyway.)

Thanks!
You cannot use spelt flour for milk. It contains gluten which is a necessity for baking. You can only use the fresh spelt berries to make the milk/beverage.

oh my looks at those cheeks she is so cute!

No…I used our water filtration system on the side of the sink.
How do i make spelt …
How do i make spelt milk from spelt flour? Whats the units? Do i boil it or blend it or what? Thank you for your great videos you have a wonderful family.
wait…
did you …
wait…
did you use plain ol’ TAP water for this receipe?
I think I will use filtered water from my Berkey Water Filter instead..
Hello there~I thank …
Hello there~I thank you so much for your share of these wonderful thoughts and inspirations.
Can i use quinoa the same way as this spelt to make milk? I mean just soak it till soft then blend, (instead of boiling the quinoa).
I’m really …
I’m really unfamiliar with making it this way. Originally when I researched the grain and looked on google…everything pertaining to making it into milk recommemded cooking it first. I believe this is how it was done historically as well.
I don’t know if this may have to do with the saponins that are on the grain/seed, that is very bitter (and can make you vomit if not cleansed correctly).
Ah thank you. I …
Ah thank you. I guess i will give it a try..most probably it doesnt really taste nice uncooked.
I actually tried it …
I actually tried it one time when I first began making it, and my daughter vomited the whole day. So I didn’t bother with doing it that way again.
Thank you! We …
Thank you! We purchase our nutmilk bags online. I’ll post the link on the side bar…I must have forgotten because someone else had inquired about that as well. But yes, cheese cloth will do just perfectly.
That’s a great idea…hadn’t thought of using the hull to make porridge! You can search online for recipes utilizing spelt. We just use it in our stir fries. We don’t use it alone, but we use it to toss along with quinoa and/or wild rice and veggies. That’s about it!
Peace!
Peace! This is such …
Peace! This is such a wonderful recipe. I was not able to find any nut milk bags anywhere so i just made my own using cheese cloth. I used the remaining hull to make porridge by adding cinnamon, nutmeg raisons and brown sugar. My kids like it better tham cream of wheat. ;0) I was wondering if you know any other uses for this because now it will be a staple in out diet. Thank you so much!!
You continue to be …
You continue to be a inspiration to me…you ARE a virtuous woman and a blessing to your mishapacha!
Thank you for …
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I have enjoyed all of your videos.
Well I appreciate …
Well I appreciate the information that you share with us. As I said before, it motivates me to continue in my endeavors to a healthy way of living. Looking forward to more ideas! *smile*
I don’t know that …
I don’t know that the 1% makes a difference except for the fat intake. For now your immune system is just better able to handle the onslaught of what’s contained within the milk. I’m definitely NO nutritionalist…lol…the info. I’ve acquired through the years has only been in attempts to alleviate the ailments experienced within my home. That’s really been important to me…and much of the information has led us to living as “unAmerican” in every way as possible. It’s just healthier!
Todah! Yes, spelt …
Todah! Yes, spelt should be sold at most health food stores. As for milk and intolerance…the whole campaign for ingesting milk as something healthy and beneficial is another big lie. I believe about 80% of cows milk is the protein “casein” and is a foreign invader. The body then produces antibodies (histamine)…and then many a folk run for drug medication as a solution. The same casein is also a very powerful binder and is used in furniture as well as other products to hold them together
In response to …
In response to TheMeekShallInherit: con’t… …so can you imagine consuming this?!! This is also where we get all the mucus production from. As for “blacks”, studies have shown that all those with “african” ancestry for whatever reason do not possess the ability to breakdown the sugar lactose (lactase is needed for that). If lactose enters the intestines intact, then the intestinal bacteria do the job of breaking it down…hence all the gas, bloating, etc…
Yes, I have also …
Yes, I have also read an article about that. I haven’t notices any symptoms after drinking milk. It may be because I drink the 1% milk, if that makes any difference. I absolutely love the wholistic way of life, but I am still in the beginning stages of transitioning to a better way to be healthy. Your videos really inspire me to keep it up. Are you a nutritionalist, or just a resourceful genius…LOL…(real question)
Remarkable …
Remarkable information. Most of us are lactose intolerant. I wonder why that is? Is the spelt sold at health food markets?
I’d have to agree …
I’d have to agree with Ejahi below…and I’d suggest you look into other sources that may be causing her excema and really get to the root of the issue. It took years on that road of searching for the root of our sons asthma and allergy situation. Vaccinations, acid rich foods, detergents and cleansers you may use on her clothing…all these can directly affect and even cause the problem.
This is wonderful …
This is wonderful Akhoti. …
Thanks for sharing …
Thanks for sharing about the gluten…I didn’t know about it flaring up excema.
Excellent Vid
Excellent Vid
I am going to try …
I am going to try this as soon as I get some spelt. Quick question for you Is this a positive or negative source for excema . My baby girl is suffering from it and I am at my end. Congrats on the new blessing, we look like we are neck and neck. LOL!
For a person who …
For a person who has suffered from exema before I can say anything that contains gluten will flare exema. But I dont know if spelt will have the same effect as wheat gluten considering the fact that she sprouted the spelt in this video. When you soak the spelt you activate the enzymes and it becomes a living food. Living foods tend to be good for digestion. I suggest give it a try and see what happens. Its a better alternative than soy or cows milk.
