1. 1

   Prepare 150 g roasted barley flour. Bring 500 ml water to a boil.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Atmet is an Ethiopian drink/thin porridge made from roasted barley (or linseed) flour — with honey and butter, mildly malty. Nutritious and energy-rich. Traditionally given to women after childbirth, those fasting, and as a warming drink.

2. 2

   Gradually whisk the roasted barley flour into the boiling water (stir vigorously to prevent lumps) to form a thin, smooth porridge/drink.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Atmet is thinner than genfo (more of a drinkable porridge). Roasted barley flour gives it its nutty, malty flavour. Honey sweetens, butter adds richness. Nutritious and warming.

3. 3

   Stir in 75 g honey and 50 g butter. Optionally add spices (linseed, cumin). Serve warm in cups or bowls.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Atmet is drunk or spooned warm — this nutty, malty, sweet barley drink with honey and butter is nutritious and energy-rich. Traditionally for women post-partum, those fasting, and on cold days.
