  1. Pour 2 cups almond milk into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. In a sieve, rinse quinoa, then stir into almond milk along with cardamom. Cover and bring back to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Using a fork, fluff. Cover and let stand until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Stir in extra almond milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until mixture is as thick as you like. Stir in raisins, apricots and almonds. Spoon into bowls. Pour a little more almond milk overtop. Sprinkle with berries. Great sweetened with honey, maple syrup or brown sugar.

  1. Why is this recipe made for 8 servings? Too bad you cannot adjust the amount you want to make here. If I made this for one person I can't imagine keeping it in the fridge for more than a day. Come on people at Chatelaine!!

  2. How much is i serving? Is it a cup, 2 cups, 1/2 cup? R we supposed to divide it into 8 different bowls and figure it out that way?
