INGREDIENTS
_____________________
for the breakfast quinoa (serves 1):
60g quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
150 ml coconut milk
1 Earl Grey tea bag
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
unsweetened yogurt, tahini, orange & blood orange slices, jam
INSTRUCTIONS
_____________________
Place the rinsed quinoa, coconut milk and teabag in a small sauce pan over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a very low simmer.
Cook for about 13 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked but still has a light bite. Remove the tea bag after the first 5 minutes and discard.
Place the cooked quinoa in a serving bowl and top with a few tablespoons almond milk, some yogurt, tahini, jam and fresh fruit.
* Feel free to adjust/ add ingredients to your liking. The cooked quinoa is not sweet at all, so I would definitely recommend the addition of jam, honey or maple syrup.
