Ingredients

milk

1 cup

unsweetened coconut milk

1 cup

cardamom pods

ground cinnamon

0.25 tsps

sugar

1 Tbsp

pomegranate seeds

0.5 cup

Method

Smash the cardamom pods open with the flat side of your knife (thats right, like a garlic clove).
Combine the milk, coconut milk, and cardamom in a saucepan and place over low heat. Bring to just below a boil, stirring every once in awhile. It will be a little foamy.
Strain the cardamom pods out since the shells are not so good to eat.
Add the couscous and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes, until all the liquid absorbs. The couscous should be tender but still with some chew to it.
Stir in the cinnamon, sugar, and pomegranate seeds. I used the seeds from half a pomegranate. If you dont have pomegranate seeds, or dont like them, try substituting raisins or dried cranberries.
