cinnamon

toasted nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds)

Place the quinoa in a sieve and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear.

In a saucepan bring the milk and chai tea to a simmer over medium heat. Press the tea bag against the edges of the pan to release tea juices. Remove the tea bag and discard.

Add the quinoa, maple, chia seeds, salt and cinnamon to the milk tea.

Bring to a boil then simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often with a spatula. Cook until quinoa tender, translucent and the germ has spiraled out of the grain.

Transfer to serving bowls and top with any desired toppings. Serve immediately.
