Recipe: Belila ( Wheat with milk)

Belila ( Wheat with milk):

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups wheat (or more if you want to),
2 1/2 cups water (for each cup of wheat add a cup of water, then add 1/2
a cup extra),
Sugar (to taste),
1 quart (1 l) Milk (to cover the wheat)

METHOD:
In a pot add the water & wheat. On medium high heat bring to a full boil. Then reduce the heat to medium low. Leave it to simmer until the wheat is soft (not too soft though).

Remove some of the water & add milk (so that the wheat is covered with milk & maybe a little bit more). Add sugar.

On medium heat stir constantly until the sugar dilutes in the water. When the sugar is all diluted, but it on low for 3 minutes.

NOTE:
* Could be served cold or hot. It is just a healthy, delicious meal.
* Don't throw away all the water from the boiling, cause that water would contain many of the vitamins & minerals the wheat lost in the process of boiling. You might even want to leave all the water & just add the milk to it.
* Start off by adding little sugar. Then add more if it's not to your taste.
* If you add cornstarch to it, you make up another Egyptian recipe called Ashoura.
