Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer.
Combine ingredients in a pot. Set on stove on high heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover the pot, and cook until all the liquid is absorbed (12 to 15 minutes).
Turn off the heat. Place a dry paper towel between the pot and the lid. Let the quinoa sit for at least 5 minutes and then fluff with a fork.
