Instructions
-
In a small pot, over medium heat, bring barley and coconut water to boil. Once boiling, add the cinnamon stick and reduce to simmer.
-
In another small pot, warm up water. Every time the barley absorbs all the liquid, add about 1⁄4 cup of warm water to the barley. Stir frequently and cook until the barley is soft. This process takes around 30-45 minutes. Once done, mix in the psyllium husk.
-
In a small bowl, mix the tapioca starch with 1 tbsp of soy milk to make tapioca slurry.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining soy milk over medium heat, whisking constantly. When the soymilk almost boils, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add tapioca slurry and lemon zest, stir occasionally. Cook it for 2 minutes or until the pudding is thick.
-
Transfer soymilk pudding to a glass, stir in lemon juice and refrigerate until it sets.
-
In two glasses, add barley pudding and then the soymilk pudding. Top with blueberries, pistachio, and ground cinnamon. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
When eating, scoop both layers or mix them together.
Notes supplémentaires
- Make sure to add warm water in the barley a little at a time, like cooking risotto.
- Avoid boiling soy milk over high heat to prevent curdling.
- Mix 1⁄2 tsp of sweetener of your choice in soymilk pudding if you prefer it a little sweeter.
- The coconut water can be replaced by water. However, you will likely want to add 1 tsp of a sweetener of your choice.
