- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, date syrup, coconut sugar)

DIRECTIONS
- Rinse 1 cup millet under cold water to remove any dust or bitterness.
- Add the millet, milk or water, and salt to a pot.
- Bring everything to a boil, then simmer until the millet breaks down into a soft, creamy texture (about 20-30 minutes).
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
