About this dish
Soaked Job's tears and walnuts are dry-toasted to drive off the raw grain smell, then simmered in milk and blended into a nutty latte.

Soaking alone does not soften the grain enough to blend smoothly; it needs to simmer until a kernel gives when pressed.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Rinse 70 g job's tears several times until the water runs mostly clear.
Soak them in cold water for at least 2 hours, then drain well in a sieve so excess water does not slow the toasting.
- 2
Heat a dry pan over medium heat, then add the drained job's tears and 35 g walnuts.
Stir for about 3 minutes until surface moisture disappears and a toasted nutty aroma rises, avoiding any dark scorching.
- 3
Pour 200 ml water and 250 ml milk into a pot, then add the toasted grains and walnuts.
Simmer over medium-low heat for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the job's tears feel soft when pressed.
- 4
Let the cooked mixture cool until the steam has eased, then transfer it to a blender.
Do not fill the blender tightly while hot, and blend until the grain particles are no longer noticeable.
- 5
Pass the blended mixture through a fine sieve once to remove coarse skins and fiber.
Stir in the remaining 250 ml milk, then warm it gently over low heat without bringing it to a hard boil.
- 6
Stir in 24 g honey and 1 g salt until fully dissolved, especially if serving cold later.
Pour into cups, sprinkle with 1 g ground cinnamon, and shake or stir again after chilling to recombine separation.
