Ingredients
Directions
- Get Your Bowl Ready: Pour ½ cup of garri into a clean, medium-sized bowl.
- Add the Milk: Gently add 1 cup of your preferred milk to the garri. You can use room temperature or chilled milk, depending on how cool you like your breakfast!
- Stir to Soften: Using a spoon, stir the garri and milk mixture thoroughly. You’ll notice the garri starting to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Sweeten It Up: Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar (or your chosen sweetener) to the mixture. Stir again until it's well combined and dissolved. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking!
- A Pinch of Flavor: If you like, add a tiny pinch of salt. This might sound odd, but it really helps to balance and enhance the overall flavors. Stir it in well.
- Let it Soak: Allow the garri to soak for about 5-10 minutes. This gives it time to fully absorb the milk and reach that perfect, creamy consistency. If you prefer it thicker, let it soak a bit longer; if you like it looser, a shorter soak is fine.
- Optional Boost: For an extra layer of flavor and texture, consider adding some roasted peanuts, sliced fruits like banana, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg right before serving.
