# What You’ll Need:
→ Grains and Liquid Base
01 - 1 cup millet, thoroughly rinsed and drained
02 - 2 ½ cups water
03 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based alternative)

04 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey

10 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
# Method:
01 - Combine rinsed millet, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, watching carefully to prevent overflow.
02 - Reduce heat to low, cover tightly with lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
03 - Pour in milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Stir thoroughly to incorporate spices. Cover and continue cooking for 10 additional minutes until millet achieves a creamy, tender consistency.
04 - Remove from heat source. Stir in maple syrup or honey until fully dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the porridge.
05 - Ladle warm porridge into individual serving bowls. Generously top with mixed berries, nuts, and seeds according to preference. Serve immediately while hot, offering extra milk or sweetener on the side.
