Thoroughly rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer for 2 minutes, using your hands to sort through and pick out any discolored pieces or pebbles that may remain.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
add rinsed, drained quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, to dry up water and slightly toast.
Add almond milk, and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. If it stops simmering, increase heat to medium-low. You’re looking for a slight simmer throughout the cooking time.
