Ingredients for Slav wheat:

Preparation:

Take half a kilogram of white wheat from whiter wheat grain, pour it into an espresso pot and pour water over it, then leave it overnight.
The next day, wash the submerged grain in a few waters, to get the dirt out, and cook well in an espresso pot.
Water must be above the grain, 4-5 cm above. See from time to time whether water should be added. It is always necessary to keep about 2 cm or 2 fingers above the level of wheat.
When the wheat is cooked, let it cool and while it is still lukewarm, strain it but do not rinse it!
If you don't like dry grain, save 200 ml of water where the grain was cooked. I have added to the mix.
When you have strained the grain, while it is still warm, grind it in a blender, or on a meat grinder. It should not be ground too finely, it is better for the wheat to be coarsely ground, to have volume.
Mix lukewarm and ground wheat with sugar and walnuts, add bags of vanilla sugar and, if desired, half a finely ground nutmeg.
Mixing wheat, walnuts, and sugar is done by hand. At the end, sprinkle the festive wheat on top with walnuts. You can decorate it by making a cross-shaped relief from whole walnuts.
