By Yogadiva

Ingredients

• For the topping:
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
• 2 cups milk of choice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup dark muscavado sugar
• 1 tart cooking apple, grated
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• Toasted flaked almonds
• Milk
• A few shakes of cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Place the quinoa into a saucepan with the milk, salt, and spice and bring to a boil.

Turn down to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa grains are fluffy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Stir in the sugar, grated apple and grated ginger and mix until the sugar is dissolved and everything is evenly distributed.

Pour into bowls, top with additional milk, a sprinkling of toasted flaked almonds and a few shakes of cinnamon and serve hot.
