Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups skim milk
  • 2 -4 cardamom pods, bruised
  • 1 -2 whole cloves
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp four mixed spice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 -4 cups skim milk

Directions:

  1. Combine the quinoa, the 1-1/2 cup of milk, the cardamom, cloves, 4-spice, cinnamon, and vanilla in a LARGE saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered until quinoa is entirely cooked (the grains should be entirely transparent), about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir frequently.
  2. Remove cardamom and cloves. Liquefy in blender with the remaining milk. Pass through a very fine sieve.
  3. Just before serving, return to blender with the bananas (calculate 1/2 a banana per portion) I live alone, so I usually just take part of quinoa mix and blend some just for me: the quinoa will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
