Notes
- Type of sorghum: I used hulled sorghum but feel free to use whole grain sorghum instead. It might need a little more water and cooking time though.
- Cook low and slow: to avoid burning the base of the porridge, cook on a low, not medium heat.
- Stir constantly: this is key to preventing burning and getting a nice even texture to your porridge.
- Adjust sweetness: everyone’s sweet tooth is different so taste as you go and add more or less sweetener until it’s just right.
- Add in extra water if the porridge seems too thick. A splash of extra milk will work great, too.
- Texture: cooking time may vary depending on if you're using whole grain or hulled sorghum. If the porridge seems too thick or not soft, add a splash of extra milk will work great, too and continue too cook.
