Ingredients
- 1 cup Millet
- 4 cups Water
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Milk (Coconut or Oat)
- 2 tbsp Sugar or Honey
Instructions
- 1Place the 1 cup of millet in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cool running water until the water runs clear.
- 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed 1 cup of millet, 4 cups of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, about 450°F (232°C).
- 3Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The millet should be soft and the porridge should have thickened to your desired consistency.
