Perfect for Traditional Hildegard Healing Cuisine:

To prepare Habermus:
- cook 1 cup of flakes in 2cups of water or plant-based milk, stirring regularly until soft (approx. 5–10 min).
- Add warming spices like cinnamon, galangal, or nutmeg, and sweeten with honey or fruit if desired.
Serving Ideas:
- Enjoy warm as a calming and revitalizing breakfast.
- Top with stewed apples, pears, or berries for seasonal variety.
- Combine with herbs or ghee for a savory version.
