Toasted Coconut Millet Moonlight

Millet contributes a quiet toasted-grain flavor to coconut milk without needing to remain in the finished cup. Cook it until completely soft before straining; rushing leaves the liquid thin and the grains underdone. The coconut flakes add a little texture on top, while nutmeg gives a warm aroma. This is a slower drink with a creamy finish, especially suitable when you want to try something beyond the usual almond or oat milk combinations in the evening.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Dry millet
• 6 oz Water
• 4 oz Unsweetened carton coconut milk
• 1 tsp Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tiny pinch Ground nutmeg

Make it

1. Toast the millet in a dry saucepan for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the water carefully and simmer, covered loosely, for about 20 minutes until fully soft.
2. Stir in the coconut milk and heat until steaming.
3. Strain into a cup and top with coconut flakes and a tiny pinch of nutmeg. Serve promptly.

Benefits

Millet and coconut milk · refreshing fluids

There’s 6 oz of water behind the millet, coconut milk, and coconut flakes in this recipe: everyday hydration with a mild, nutty grain flavor, rather than another plain glass.

Nutmeg · a reason to linger

Warm nutmeg with millet, coconut milk, and coconut flakes and you get a warm, woody fragrance in a cup made for small, comfortably warm sips.
