LITHA MENU

  This is my menu plan for one week.  I shall repeat it throughout Litha, for about six weeks.

Monday: 
breakfast: 1/2 liter green tea, plain
                 home made scones (4 dl wholemeal flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp seasalt, 2 tsp raw cane sugar, 2 dl water or soymilk, and some minced or shredded veggie or berry/fruit of choise. Mix all and form 5-6 round breads. Bake in an oven at 225 Celsius for about 15 min.)
                 fruit
lunch: 1/2 liter water
          young, fresh potatoes with Mother Nature´s Flavorite Sauce (spring onions and wild edible greens cooked lightly in a mixture of vegetable stock and soy milk, seasoned with black pepper and seasalt)
          wholemeal bread
dinner: 1/2 liter herbal tea with soymilk
            oatmeal made with water or soymilk (for variety I may mix 1/2 oat and 1/2 millet, buckwheat or rice), topped with pieces of fruit or berry kissel
dessert: a small ice cream cone (or two if I must =)

This kissel is made with red currants and strawberries.

The recipe for a basic, healthy kissel: 1 liter water, 4 Tbsp potato starch flour, lots of berries (about a liter, depending on the type), and sweetener such as agave or honey. Thicken the water with the starch by bringing the combination to a boil, stirring constantly. Puree the berries and add into the water and starch base. Sweeten to your liking. Can be eaten hot or cold, alone or with oatmeal/other porridge.
