How to Prepare Sweet Cinnamon Couscous [Vegan]

Put the couscous in a heat resistant bowl or container. Set aside.
Pour the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. add in the sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel (remember to use only the yellow part of the skin, discard the white part to avoid any bitterness). Stir a bit to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the milk to a boil, remove the cinnamon and lemon peel, and pour the hot milk over the bowl with the couscous. Do not stir, cover the bowl and let it rest for up to 10 minutes, or until the liquid has been almost completely absorbed but it's still creamy and juicy.
Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and ginger, stir and top with your favorite nuts, chopped dates, and a few slices of banana and strawberries.
