Chai Coconut rice breakfast


This is a great breakfast recipe to be creative with! 


I have given loose instructions, but experimenting and having fun is such a rewarding aspect of cooking, so go ahead and change the spices etc around and really make this recipe your own.


Combine warming spices like ginger, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom pod, and nutmeg. oh and a vanilla pod if you have one
about 1/2 cup water,
 1/4 cup thai red rice or thai purple rice or Quinoa in pot 
1 date chopped - optional
(you can add few tablespoons of coconut cream now or towards the end of cooking). 


 bring to boil and simmer till liquid absorbed and rice is cooked, cover and set aside. ( if I am using frozen berries i add them now and cover)


 I toast up almonds in oven then sprinkle with cinnamon and keep these ready in the pantry to sprinkle on top. serve with berries/mango/fruit of your choice sprinkle with almonds, alittle extra coconut cream or soy/almond milk. if you need sweetener add honey, coconut sugar or agave but it is pretty sweet with the fruit and coconut cream. and eat it up x
