Quinoa Porridge (Quinoagröt)

Ingredients

• ½ cup (≈85 g) quinoa
• 2 cups (≈480 ml) milk (any type)
• Sweetener to taste (e.g., 3 tsp Sötströ, or adjust if using honey, stevia, sugar, etc.)
• Optional: 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
• Suggested topping: Ground cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa in a mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, milk, and sweetener to taste. If using vanilla extract, add it now.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is soft and the mixture thickens.
4. Serve warm, sprinkled with ground cinnamon or your favorite toppings. Adjust sweetness as desired.

Notes

• The amount of sweetener needed may vary depending on what you use. If using honey, sugar, or stevia, start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
