Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup coconut milk unsweetened canned
8 cardamom pods green
0.3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
0.5 cup pomegranate seeds

Equipment

sauce pan
knife

Directions

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.
