Description

Ingredients

• ½ Cup Quinoa, rinsed
• 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1 Chai Tea Bag
• ½ Tbs Coconut Palm Sugar (optional)
• Pecans
• Coconut
• Cinnamon

Directions

• Before cooking, be sure to rinse quinoa well. This removes saponin (quinoas natural coating), which can make quinoa bitter.
• In a small saucepan, combine almond milk, quinoa, and chai tea bag, and bring to a boil. Once almond milk is boiling, remove the chai tea bag. Add coconut sugar (if desired) and stir. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook quinoa, covered, for about 15-20 minutes.
• When quinoa is done, remove from heat and keep covered for another 5-10 minutes so almond milk can fully absorb.
• To serve, put quinoa in a bowl with a little more warmed milk. This pecan + walnut milk would work amazingly as well! Garnish with pecans, coconut, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
