Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Millet

1. Rinse the millet under cold water.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, coconut milk, and water.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Cook the Millet

1. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.

2. Stir well to combine.
3. If using, add the ground cinnamon for a hint of spice.

Step 4: Simmer and Thicken

1. Continue to cook the mixture over low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. If the pudding becomes too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Serve warm or transfer to the refrigerator to chill if you prefer a cold pudding.
