First, rinse the quinoa well. This helps to take that (sometimes) bitter edge off of it. In a small pot, heat the milk until almost boiling. Pour in the quinoa, give it a good stir and place the lid on top. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. During the last three minutes of cooking remove the lid. Once it’s done cooking, stir in the cinnamon, salt and brown sugar. Taste and add a bit more sweetener if you like.

While the quinoa is cooking toast the coconut and nuts in a dry pan for a few minutes until brown.
