Place the quinoa in a pan with the water and a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over a medium heat then reduce slightly to a medium - low simmer. Cook until all the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid, allowing the quinoa to self steam for 5 minutes then remove the lid and allow to fully cool. Fluff with a fork.
