The Night Before:
Soak the Buckwheat: Add 1 cup raw buckwheat groats to a jar or container. Cover with water, seal with a lid, and leave on the counter overnight.
Mix the Spices: In a small container, combine turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt. Cover with a lid and set aside for the morning.
In the Morning:
Rinse the Buckwheat: Drain and rinse the soaked buckwheat groats using a fine-mesh strainer until the slimy coating is gone.
Heat the Milk + Spices: In a large Dutch oven, add the almond milk, coconut milk, and the prepared spice mix. Whisk well as you bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring to fully incorporate the spices.
Add the Buckwheat: Once the mixture is boiling, stir in the rinsed buckwheat groats. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
Sweeten: Uncover, stir in the maple syrup, and let the porridge thicken slightly if needed.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with fresh berries, tahini, bee pollen, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired
