Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vermicelli noodles
- 500 milliliters Almond milk
- 250 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 piece Lemon peel
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Break the vermicelli noodles into smaller pieces, around 3-5 cm long.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the almond milk, water, and granulated sugar.
Add the cinnamon stick and lemon peel to the mixture and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture begins to boil, add the broken vermicelli noodles.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15-18 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the noodles from sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the turmeric powder, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring well to combine. The turmeric gives the Aletria its traditional golden color.
Continue cooking until the noodles are tender and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove from heat and take out the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
Pour the Aletria into individual serving bowls or a larger serving dish.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top for garnish and an extra hint of warmth.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
