Quinoa With Chai-Spiced Almond Milk for Breakfast

on



Need:
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 chai tea bag
1/2 tbsp coconut palm sugar (optional)
Pecans, coconut and cinnamon for topping
Before cooking, be sure to rinse quinoa well. This removes saponin (quinoa’s natural coating), which can make it 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.
