Instructions
- Pour the quinoa into a fine mesh sieve.
- Rinse under a running tap and thoroughly wash the quinoa, rubbing through it with your fingers, for 3 mins to remove any bitter outer coating.
- Let the quinoa drain for a few mins to remove the excess liquid.
- Place the quinoa into a pot and add in 2 cups milk, vanilla and cardamom and bring to the boil.
- Reduce to a simmer, cover and let cook for 15 mins. You will see tiny spirals coming out of the seeds.
- Remove the quinoa from the heat, open and fluff the grains then let stand for about 10 mins.
- Serve and top with apple, berries, pumpkin seeds, and maple syrup. Mix almond butter in with remaining 3/4 cup milk and pour over top.
