– 4 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
– 1 pinch of salt

– Nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds) for topping

Instructions
1. Rinse the Millet: Start by rinsing the millet under cold water to remove any impurities. Drain it well.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, water or milk, and a pinch of salt.
3. Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Reduce Heat: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the millet is softened and absorbs the liquid.
5. Add Sweetener: Stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, adjusting the sweetness to your liking.
6. Prepare Fruits: While the millet cooks, chop your choice of fresh fruits.
7. Fluff the Porridge: Once the millet is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork to achieve a creamy consistency.
8. Serve: Spoon the millet porridge into bowls and top with your chosen fruits, nuts, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
9. Garnish: If desired, add coconut flakes for an additional tropical flavor and texture.
