5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup milk (I use skim)
  • 1 1-inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced thin
  • 5 cardamom pods
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 black peppercorns
  • 2/3 cup oatmeal
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the water, milk, ginger and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over a medium flame and then immediately remove from the heat.
  2. 2
    Cover the saucepan and let the milk sit for about 1/2 hour.
  3. 3
    After the milk has been steeping for about 1/2 hour, drain it, discarding the ginger and spices and putting the flavored milk back in the saucepan.
  4. 4
    Add the oatmeal to the saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the oatmeal is as soft as you like it.
  5. 5
    Sweeten, if desired. Serve hot.
