Ingredients

  • 150 gram (1 cup) whole grain teff
  • 500 milliliter (2 cups) almond milk
  • 250 milliliter (1 cup) water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom/nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or maple syrup or more to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Add milk, water, spices, and salt to a saucepan and bring to boil. Stir in the teff.
  • Then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 - 18 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and grains are tender.
  • If using, mix in the sugar or maple syrup.
  • When done to your liking, portion it out and serve with the toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the teff grains in the saucepan for 3-5 minutes over medium heat before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • Make sure to use whole grain teff (not teff flour) for this recipe.
  • Do remember to stir the porridge occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking/burning.
  • Feel free to add a little more liquid if it starts to get too thick.
