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.)

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.
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.
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).
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!

did you use plain ol' TAP water for this receipe?
I think I will use filtered water from my Berkey Water Filter instead..
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).
