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

  1. Place the cloves, cinnamon quill and peppercorns in a sachet or tea bag.

  2. Bring the water and spices to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, infusing the water with flavor.

  3. Add the milk to the water and spices and bring it to a boil.

  4. Add the oatmeal and cook on low until creamy (for a thinner, more drinkable porridge, use just 1 cup of oatmeal).

  5. Sweeten the porridge with ginger date sugar or honey to taste.
