Scale

1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
pinch of salt

milk and maple syrup {optional}


Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup quinoa and rinse in a fine-mesh sieve.
  2. Place water, quinoa, cinnamon sticks and ground nutmeg in a rice cooker and cook as you would regular white rice.
  3. Or, if you don’t have a rice cooker, place all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil of medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the qunioa is tender.
  4. When the quinoa is finished cooking, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  5. Remove cinnamon sticks, add a little milk and maple syrup and serve warm.
