Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup peeled diced sweet potatoes (raw or cooked)
  • 1 slice peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • chestnuts or walnuts (optional)

Directions

1

1. Rinse and drain the millet.

2

2. Put all ingredients except honey and cooked sweet potatoes (if using) in a medium saucepan.

3

3. Bring to a boil.

4

4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until it forms a porridge- 1 hour or so.

5

5. If you are using cooked sweet potatoes, add them at the end and stir until hot- this will yield a chunkier porridge; raw ones cooked for an hour pretty much dissolve.

6

6. Turn off the heat.

7

7. Stir in the honey.

8

8. Ladle into bowls.
