分享一款單獨煮成粥品的基本食譜: Amaranth Cereal

Ingredients: Serves 2

1/2 cup Amaranth (about 90g)
1 1/2 cups water  (350ml)
1/2 cup soy milk
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Small amount Cranberries

Directions:
Combine water and Amaranth. Bring to a boil then turn heat down and let simmer 20-25 minutes until the water is absorbed. Be watchful at the end of cooking to not burn the seeds. Overcooking turns Amaranth to mush.

Combine cooked Amaranth, soymilk, honey, cinnamon and cranberries,  Enjoy!
