Ingredients

Scale

Quinoa Base

  • 60g quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
  • 150 ml coconut milk
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

To Serve

  • Unsweetened yogurt, to taste
  • Tahini, to taste
  • Orange slices (including blood orange), as desired
  • Jam, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold running water to remove any bitterness. This helps in achieving a better texture for the final dish.
  2. Infuse Liquid: In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, coconut milk, and the Earl Grey tea bag. Place the pan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing the tea to infuse the quinoa with its distinctive bergamot flavor.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Remove the tea bag after 5 minutes to prevent bitterness and continue cooking the quinoa for about 13 minutes in total, or until it is cooked but still retains a slight bite.
  4. Add Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon during the final minutes of cooking to evenly distribute the warm spice flavor throughout the quinoa.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Transfer the cooked quinoa into a serving bowl. Drizzle a few tablespoons of almond milk (optional) over the quinoa to add creaminess. Top with spoonfuls of unsweetened yogurt and tahini, add slices of orange and blood orange for freshness, and finish with a generous dollop of your favorite jam for sweetness.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Adjust the toppings to your liking, adding honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness, and savor this flavorful, nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • The cooked quinoa is naturally unsweetened, so adding jam, honey, or maple syrup is recommended for a touch of sweetness.
  • You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk if preferred.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on seasonal fruits or personal taste preferences.
  • Removing the tea bag after 5 minutes prevents the dish from becoming too bitter.
  • This recipe is suitable for a gluten-free and vegetarian diet.
