The night before, grind the 6-grain mixture. If you don’t have a grain mill, simply use a hand-held coffee grinder, like the one used in “Räuber Hotzenplotz” (Robber Hotzenplotz). Soak the grain in enough water to completely cover it. Cover and let it sit at room temperature overnight (at least 6 hours). The shorter the soaking time, the grainier the fresh grain porridge will be, and the longer the soaking time, the softer the fresh grain porridge will be. Soak the raisins separately from the grain in a little water overnight. The next morning, add the raisins and flaked almonds to the grain. Wash and halve the apple. Coarsely grate one half with the peel and drizzle with lemon juice. Cut the other half into small cubes. Add the apple, vanilla, and cinnamon to the grain. If you like cinnamon, use a whole teaspoon like I do; if you prefer a more subtle flavor, use only 1/4 teaspoon. Finally, add the soy cream and mix everything well. If you like, you can sweeten the fresh grain porridge with a little agave syrup or stevia. However, I don’t add any extra sweetener to my fresh grain porridge, as I find the natural sweetness of the fruit is sufficient.
