Ingredients
-
3 cups water
-
3 cups whole milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
-
1 ½ cups of quick-cooking oats
-
6-8 Pemba Cloves
-
1-2 peeled layers of Cinnamon Quills
-
1/8 tsp ground Caribbean Bay Leaf
-
1 tsp Royal Cinnamon
-
1 tsp Grenada Gold Nutmeg
-
1/8 tsp Robusta Black Peppercorns, ground
-
1/8 tsp salt
-
Buffalo Ginger Date Sugar or honey to taste
Directions
Place the cloves, cinnamon quill and peppercorns in a sachet or tea bag.
Bring the water and spices to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, infusing the water with flavor.
Add the milk to the water and spices and bring it to a boil.
Add the oatmeal and cook on low until creamy (for a thinner, more drinkable porridge, use just 1 cup of oatmeal).
Sweeten the porridge with ginger date sugar or honey to taste.
