2. In a small saucepan on a low heat add the coconut milk, cinnamon stick and dates. Cover, bring to a gentle simmer and take off the heat and allow the flavours to marry for 5 minutes.
3. Strain the cinnamon stick and dates and add the flavoured milk to the porridge gradually, stirring as you go to get your favourite desired porridge consistency.
4. In a small frying pan on medium heat, dry roast your walnuts for 1-2 minutes or until they start to char and a beautiful nutty flavour comes through. Take off the heat and drizzle with honey while constantly stirring. Transfer to a plate or a lined baking tray, sprinkle with salt and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
