Tips:

- For added flavor, cook the quinoa in milk instead of water, or use half milk and half water.
- Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance the taste and nutritional value.
- Store any leftover cooked quinoa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat it with a splash of milk before serving.
