  5. Add boiling water to mixture in thermos while stirring with spoon. Mixture should be soupy in consistency, as the grains and seeds will absorb it.
  6. Seal thermos and let stand overnight.
  7. In the morning remove cereal from thermos and add:***
    1. Two fruits of your choice (no citrus except kiwi). If you use dried fruits you will need to use more water, as they will reconstitute in the mixture overnight.

NOTE: For infants to start it may be important to just use brown rice & flax seeds as the grains and all the seeds. Then introduce rye for one week. Then, continue by adding millet the following week to complete the recipe.
