Step 1
For cooking, it’s best to use neutral-tasting filtered or bottled water. You can also cook this kissel with milk.
Step 2
Sort through the oats and rinse thoroughly. Pour clean water over the oats and let them soak overnight. Soaked grains release their gluten well. If you’re short on time, soak for at least 2–3 hours.

Step 3
Drain the water, spread the grains on a towel, and dry them completely in the sun or in the oven at 105–120°F (40–50°C). This step is optional, especially if you plan to grind the oats in a meat grinder.
Step 4
Grind the oats using a meat grinder or a blender.

Transfer the ground oats to a saucepan, pour in 1 liter (about 4¼ cups) of clean drinking water, and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and let sit for 20–30 minutes.
