Honey and Almond Polenta

Ingredients
3-4 cups milk
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup honey
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup almonds, crushed

Directions

In a saucepan, bring milk to boil over a medium heat. Once boiled, reduce heat to low. Slowly add the polenta into the boiling milk, stirring gently to avoid lumps. When all the polenta has been added, add the butter. Mix well, and cook for 1 minute. Turn heat off and add the vanilla. Place hot polenta in bowls. Top with honey and almonds, or whisk in cheese, instead of honey and almonds. Serve with your favorite hot drink.
