METHOD:

Place teff & milk on stovetop and cook over med-high heat until it starts to boil
Turn heat off and cover with lid
Leave for 10-15 minutes
By now the moisture should have evaporated and teff should be soft and fluffy like couscous. If not cook on low heat for a further 5 minutes with the lid off, stirring occasionally – add more liquid if necessary
Once reached desired consistency, add an extra dash of milk/water and stir through depending on how runny you want it
Garnish with toppings of choice & enjoy!
