  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 2 cinnamon leaves, or ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

Method: 

  1. Add the water for blending and plantains to your blender and process until smooth, then set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized pot, add the other three cups of water, coconut milk, cinnamon leaves or powder, grated nutmeg, and salt. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  3. Once the mixture has come to a boil, turn down to low heat. Slowly add in the blended plantain mixture while stirring gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
