Methods:

  • For starters take two glass jars with a lid~ 300 ml capacity.

  • Proceed to divide the quinoa between the two jars. Slightly warm the milk to lukewarm and whisk in the yogurt, after which you divide the milk mixture between the 2 jars.

  • Close the jars with the lids and leave overnight for the yogurt to set. This may take fewer hours in very hot weather.

  • Before serving, top the quinoa in set yogurt with sliced bananas, desiccated coconut or coconut chips, walnut bits and honey.

  • Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom powder.

Note:

Use diced mango instead of sliced banana when mangoes are in season!
