Equipment
- heavy-bottomed pot
- spoon
Ingredients
- 1 pinch salt balancing the sweetness and enhancing the overall flavor profile of the oatmeal, ensuring a well-rounded taste
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest optional, adding a bright and citrusy element to the oatmeal, providing a refreshing and zesty note that uplifts the flavors, and offering a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the dish
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats a convenient and time-saving option, allowing the oats to cook quickly and absorb the flavors of the milk, resulting in a smooth and hearty texture
- 1 tablespoon white sugar adding a touch of sweetness to the oatmeal, enhancing its overall taste and making it more enjoyable
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg complementing the cinnamon and adding a hint of earthiness and depth to the oatmeal, providing a warm and cozy flavor
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon infusing the oatmeal with warm and aromatic notes, adding a subtle spiciness and a comforting aroma
- 3/4 cup milk providing a creamy and velvety base for the oatmeal, adding richness and a luscious texture to the dish
Instructions
- Combine the milk, oats, nutmeg, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes until oats are cooked through and have absorbed most of the liquid. Serve hot with fresh fruit, nuts, or other toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Toast the oats in a dry pan before adding them to the milk for extra flavor and crunch.
- Use full-fat milk for extra creaminess and richness.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste; you can use more or less depending on how sweet you like it.
- Add a pinch of cardamom for a unique flavor twist.
