- In a small pot, bring amaranth and water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until liquid is mostly absorbed (about 15 minutes).
- Add the milk and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, until porridge reaches desired texture. Stir in the honey, cocoa powder, and cinnamon and mix until well combined.
