Method
- Rinse the millet:
- Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove bitterness.
- Cook the millet:
- In a saucepan, add rinsed millet, water, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.
- Add milk and flavor:
- Stir in milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon/cardamom.
- Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until creamy and thickened to desired consistency.
- Adjust and serve:
- Add more milk for a looser texture, or cook longer for thicker porridge.
- Serve warm with toppings of choice.
Notes
Make it creamier: Use full-fat coconut milk or cream for a rich version.
Batch cook: Make a big batch and reheat with a splash of milk throughout the week.
Texture tip: For smoother porridge, blend it lightly before serving.
Flavor boost: Add orange zest, vanilla bean paste, or soaked raisins during cooking.
