Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
- Pecans
- Coconut
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa well to remove the saponin (its natural coating can make quinoa bitter). In small saucepan, combine almond milk, quinoa and tea bag. Bring to boil. Remove tea bag when boiling. Add sugar (optional) and stir. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- When done, remove from heat and cover for 15-20 minutes to allow liquid to fully absorb. Serve in a bowl and garnish with pecans, coconut and cinnamon.
