Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Millet

    Rinse the millet under cold water. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed millet and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Millet

    Once the millet is cooked, stir in the sugar until dissolved. If using, add the milk, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Let the mixture cool slightly before serving. Degue can be enjoyed warm or chilled, and can be garnished with additional milk or spices if desired.
