Oat jelly
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Monastery-style oat kissel can be made using a longer method with soaking the grains for 24 hours, but it can also be prepared as described in this recipe. The recipe is simple and clearly explained in step-by-step instructions. Using the same recipe, you can also make a non-fasting (rich) version of kissel. To do so, replace the water with milk and add cream or butter. The kissel can also be unsweetened—instead of jam or honey, add sautéed onions. Serve as desired.
