To cook teff; combine teff and water in a medium-sized pot. Rinse, drain, and then refill with fresh water. Bring the pot to a boil on the stove over medium heat.

When the teff begins to bubble, begin stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 12 minutes, or until the porridge thickens.

Stir in your preferred plant-based milk; add more as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool the teff porridge.

Transfer to a bowl, then top the porridge with almonds, cherries, additional maple syrup, and milk. Enjoy while it’s still warm.
