My advice would be to add water until it is clear when drained. At least three times.
- Now, add rinsed millet to the pot and cover it with the amount of water that was listed in the ingredients. Put it on the high heat on the stove.
- When water boils, lower the heat until water starts simmering (on my stove it is the lowest heat). Season porridge with a pinch of salt. Cover the pot with a lid. It can take up to 15 minutes to get rid of water.
- Pour preheated milk to the pot with boiled millet.
