Step 1:

How do you cook Artek wheat porridge in water? Gather the ingredients. Add sugar to taste, or leave it out completely. Use natural, good-quality butter with no vegetable fats. Or swap it for extra-virgin olive oil — the porridge will be even healthier.
Step 2:

Before you start cooking the porridge, pick over the groats to remove any debris. The easiest way is on an ordinary table: spread the groats out in a thin layer and sort through them, removing anything unwanted — pebbles, whole grains, bits of chaff, and other impurities the body doesn't need.
Step 3:

Put the picked-over groats in a bowl and rinse them. If you like crumbly porridge, rinse them under warm running water in a sieve. For a more viscous, thick porridge, rinse the groats briefly under cold water. That way the starch — which is what makes the porridge creamy — doesn't wash off the surface. I prefer a viscous porridge, so I just rinsed the wheat under cold water.
Step 4:

Put the groats in a pot and cover with water. Wheat porridge is cooked with liquid in a 1-to-2 ratio. It's best not to use tap water — use filtered or bottled water. It's much cleaner and softer, which means the porridge comes out tastier and healthier.
Step 5:

Set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir the porridge several times during this time so it doesn't scorch. Then remove the lid and salt to taste. If the porridge seems too thin, keep cooking and stirring until it reaches the consistency you want. Take it off the heat, cover, lay a towel over the top, and let it sit for 15 minutes so the grain finishes steaming through.
Step 6:

Divide the finished porridge among bowls, add butter, and serve right away. If you like, you can add sugar, honey, or fruit and berry syrups to the wheat porridge. You can top it with fresh berries, fruit, candied fruit, or dried fruit — it all depends on your tastes and preferences. It can also be served as a side dish with fish or meat.
Step 7:

Enjoy!

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that holds up to heat.
