2. Add Pine Nuts and cook until slightly roasted.
3. Add Semolina and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often.
4. In a small pot mix Water, Milk & Sugar together as you heat it slowly. (It doesn’t need to reach boiling point but should be very warm.) Add a few dashes of cinnamon while it cooks.
5. Slowly pour the Milk mixture into the pot with the Semolina, stirring continually. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes.
