Instructions

1. Rinse the wheat well and soak it in cold water for 12 hours or overnight.
2. Drain it and cook it in the liter of water, over low heat and covered, until tender but not falling apart. The author warns that it takes a long time: allow 2 hours, and add water if it dries out.
3. Rinse the currants. Add the soy milk, cinnamon, sugar and currants to the wheat and let it simmer for a quarter of an hour, stirring from time to time.
4. Take out the cinnamon and serve it hot in bowls. It's a very old English dessert, somewhere between porridge and soy milk rice pudding.
