Instructions
1
Rinse the amaranth thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3
Add the rinsed amaranth to the boiling liquid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Once the amaranth is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, stir in the honey and cinnamon.
5
Remove from heat and let the porridge sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
6
Divide the porridge into bowls and top with mixed berries, chia seeds, and sliced almonds.
7
Drizzle with additional honey if desired and serve warm.
Chef's Tips
- Soaking Tip: Soak amaranth overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Sweetener Variations: Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan option.
- Texture Tip: For a creamier porridge, add more milk or water during cooking.
- Toppings: Experiment with different toppings like banana slices, coconut flakes, or nut butter.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
