  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and grains are tender.
  4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.
  5. Fluff the grains gently with a fork.
  6. Drizzle with raw honey to taste and stir gently to combine.
  7. Serve warm.

Note

For a creamier texture, add a splash of almond milk or water while serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of liquid to restore moisture.

You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if preferred, though raw honey offers distinct floral notes.
