Place quinoa in a sieve and wash it well under cold running water. Drain and place in saucepan with 2cups of cold water. Bring to the boil, cover, lower heat, and boil gently until all the water is absorbed, and the quinoa is tender, about 15mins.
To 2cups of cooked quinoa add the apple juice, raisins, nuts, lemon juice, also cinnamon and salt to taste. Simmer covered for 15mins.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Chill, serve plain or with berries or sliced banana or maple syrup.
