3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon allspice

4 tablespoons golden raisins, divided
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup couscous
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2. Add the coconut milk mixture in a medium saucepan along with the water, raisins (except the raisins reserved for garnish), and couscous. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a simmer, the couscous should be porridge-like in consistency; if not, simmer until it is (this should take less than 1 minute), stirring constantly. Once the couscous is porridge-like, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into 4 serving bowls and top each with 1 teaspoon raisins and 1 teaspoon coconut; serve hot.
