Ingredients
Method
- Cook the rice: combine rice, water, salt, and the contents of the tea bags in a medium sauce pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes. Try to avoid opening the lid or stirring the rice while it cooks. *You will be tempted, because it will smell so good. After 45 minutes, place a paper towel between the pot and lid and let sit, closed, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- While the rice cooks, mash the banana in a separate bowl with a fork.
- Keep about 1 cup of the rice in the pot. Stir in banana, maca powder, and chia seeds, and heat for about 5-10 minutes. The mixture will be thick, but if you’d prefer it creamier you can add 1/4 cup almond or coconut milk, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Divide into 4 small dessert bowls. Top with coconut flakes to serve.
Notes
May be eaten hot or cold.If you prefer it cold, add another 1/4 cup of milk to the entire mixture, and let sit in the refrigerator 2-3 hours before serving. Enjoy!
