Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup red lentils (soak them for about 4 hours; it makes them a little easier on the digestive system)
  • 3 cups red rooibos tea
  • 2 apples, cored and diced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (see note below)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, but recommended)
  • Maple syrup, to taste (I buy Trader Joe's or online for the best value)
  • Vanilla coconut milk beverage, as needed (I used So Delicious
  • Pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
  1. Once the lentils have been soaked and drained, place them in a pot with the brewed tea.
  2. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat to low to medium.
  3. After ten minutes, stir in the diced apple and spices.
  4. Cook for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
  5. Ladle about half a cup into each of 4 small serving bowls. Drizzle each with a bit of maple syrup and splash with a generous amount of coconut milk.
Notes
Cinnamon & Spice Note: You can use less cinnamon, and reduce the other spices, if desired. 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves is nice if you went less of a spiced flavor.
