Ingredients

1 cup sorghum grains
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional)
1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Rinse the sorghum grains under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sorghum, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sorghum is tender and the porridge has thickened.
If desired, stir in honey or sugar, milk, and cinnamon. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Tips

Adjust the amount of water to achieve desired consistency: less water for thicker porridge, more for thinner.
Sorghum porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or milk.
Top with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
