The water is boiled and if desired, flavored with cinnamon or vanilla. Leave it to infuse for 5-10 minutes.
Pour the spelt grains, a pinch of salt and transfer it into a blender or other suitable device for fine grinding.
Turn it on at maximum speed for 30 seconds or more, depending on the power of the appliance. You have to grind it well, but if pieces and flakes of the grains remain, it is not a problem.
The spelt drink is left to stand for 10 minutes and then filtered through a fine strainer.
The spelt milk is stored in a refrigerator and it is best to consume it after it has settled for at least two hours.
