Mount Athos Recipe for Koliva

Authentic traditional recipe for a hut from the fathers on Mount Athos. Easy step-by-step recipe. Instructions: Boil the wheat, so that it does not become a porridge. Strain it and spread it on a clean towel to drain its water. Put in a pan all the ingredients (except for the powdered sugar) and mix them. Place them on a platter and press them over with a baking paper. Cover it with sugar. If koliva is for memorial, form a cross with cinnamon or almond or pomegranate seeds. If it is for the celebration of a saint, create the form of the saint with cinnamon or natural colors.
