Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
4 cups coconut milk
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Place quinoa in a colander, rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow to drain.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and season with sea salt.
Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover, leaving the lid just ajar so that some steam may escape, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue simmering for 5 more minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed most (not all) of the milk.
Remove from heat.
Pour into bowls to serve.
Recipe Notes
Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with additional cinnamon for flavour, colour and the fact that cinnamon helps your body mop up triglycerides (which increase heart disease risk).
