Nourishing Breastfeeding Porridge Recipe

Breastfeeding can be a challenging journey, and finding nutritious, lactation-friendly meals is essential for new mums. This Sticky Black Rice Porridge is a delicious and wholesome option, made even more beneficial with our specially brewed Nursing tea. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• Sticky Black Rice Porridge:
• 1/2 cup black rice
• 1/2 cup white rice
• 1 large pot brewed nursing tea
• 1 cinnamon quill
• 2-3 cups coconut milk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup sultanas
• Coconut yoghurt (for topping)
• Desiccated coconut (for topping)
• Fruit (for topping)

Instructions:

Soak the Black Rice:

Start by soaking 1/2 cup of black rice in water for up to 4 hours. This helps to soften the grains and reduce cooking time.

Prepare the Nursing Tea:

While the black rice is soaking, brew a large pot of our special nursing tea, which is designed to support lactation and provide essential nutrients.

Combine and Cook:

Rinse both the black and white rice thoroughly.

In a large saucepan, add the brewed nursing tea, the rinsed rice, and a cinnamon quill.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Add Coconut Milk:

Once the rice begins to soften, add 2-3 cups of coconut milk.

Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Sweeten and Flavour:

Add 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of sultanas to the porridge.

Continue to cook until the rice reaches your desired texture.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the porridge warm, topped with a dollop of coconut yoghurt and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut.

You can also add fresh fruit for extra flavour and nutrition.

Storage:

This recipe makes approximately 3 servings.

The porridge can be served cold and kept stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This sticky black rice porridge is not only nourishing but also incredibly comforting, making it an ideal meal for breastfeeding mums. Enjoy the blend of creamy coconut, sweet honey, and the unique texture of black rice while supporting your breastfeeding journey.
